- Joshua Kosman, Chronicle. To the extent that I caught any laxness, it was earlier in the story.

Media Roundup: The Lighthouse
I think it'll be fairly slim pickings on The Lighthouse, unless my fellow bloggers weigh in. Briefly, I liked the opera more than Joshua Kosman, but there are some points of congruence in our reviews anyway. Okay, I admit that the comparison to Turn of the Screw was completely obvious.
I'll probably get a post up by Friday. Loved the music and the perfect cast and chamber orchestra, but thought the production would have been more effective if it had captured the total claustrophobia of the enquiry room/lighthouse quarters. It certainly is a strange, knotty little opera, and I'm glad to have seen a production.
