Reception
Reviewer Mark Thomas Ketterson, writing in Opera News, called the new opera "an important addition to the American operatic canon."[1]
gollark: But that's not necessarily a *good* dichotomy.
gollark: Well, if you split the entire possible space of economic systems into two areas, then yes, things go into those two areas.
gollark: Not that "communism", whichever definition of that (people disagree on them) you happen to mean, and "capitalism" (same thing) are the only two possible economic systems of course.
gollark: There are reasonable arguments for either.
gollark: Which one are you accusing of this? I can't actually tell.
