Premiere: Lyric Opera of Chicago, Dennis Russell Davies conducting, October 31, 1992. “… an instant no-nonsense all-American hit … Bolcom’s clever score supports the plot at every turn.” — Los Angeles Times. “The opera — thanks to Bolcom’s strongly profiled and warmly communicative, masterfully organized score, as well as the pointed libretto … actually improves upon novel and film.” — N.Y.
