Dominick
Argento's opera, with set and Lighting design by Simon
Corder
"The
staging... has half the audience seated at cafe tables
round a vast chunk of rail track, over which the
characters scramble as glaring lights and whistles suggest
that trains elsewhere carry other people on journeys that
elude them. Its surreal ingenuity far transcends the
paucity of Argento's imagination."
