- Lisa Hirsch, Chicago Classical Review. Sunk by the libretto and insufficiently varied music.
- Opera Tattler
- Richard Scheinin, Mercury News. Rich describes the musical issues in more detail than I did. I think the libretto causes many of the problems, but he's right on.
- Joshua Kosman, Chron, likes it better than Rich and I did, finding the music more appealing and the libretto less of a problem.
- Janos Gereben, SFCV, who is equivocal

The iron tongue of midnight hath told twelve. Lovers, to bed; 'tis almost fairy time.
Berce mollement sur ton sein sublime
Ô puissante mer, l’enfant de Dindyme!

The Secret Garden Media Roundup
My review of Nolan Gasser's new opera, The Secret Garden, is posted at Chicago Classical Review. I will have a lot more to say about it but that has to wait a day or so. In the meantime, this posting will contain links to my and other reviews.
