“Caruso Successfully Transforms Tóibín’s Novel About Henry James Into An Opera”
“The libretto by Irish author Colm Tóibín was frighteningly powerful”
“I'm not stoned, I'm just writing an opera!”
Interview: “Colm Tóibín: The new master of opera”
“Caruso himself plays the piano score live and also directs the singers from his stool, an impressive feat over the 105 minutes”
“… Caruso brought the full character of the score to light in his piano playing”
“… everything that was needed to draw you in was there in the singing, in the beautiful period costume design, in the excellent choreography and direction by Conor Hanratty”
