Description: The composer has chosen an ideal subject for operatric treatment, allowing for music of different character (incorporating different techniques of the 20th century, within a predominantly tonal framework), and the interplay of the principal characters' voices in a traditional structure of solo arias, duos and other combinations, commented on by the skillfull counterpoint of orchestral textures, now light and folklike, now romantically tragic, now as much a part of the narrative as the text.
