Repertoire Note
Press Quotes
"Kats-Chernin’s score is contemporary, tuneful and driven by pop/musical theatre rhythms with consistently fast tempi. It’s a mile away from the dissonant harmonies and challenging rhythms most people associate with modern opera and closer to the pop-influenced scores you hear in contemporary musical theatre. It’s an eclectic mix of sounds and moods, with a particularly clever waltz in one scene and an irresistible tango in the last episode."
