THE METROPOLITAN OPERA

An inspired and excellent cast, I could not imagine a more compelling production.

--The New York Times

It was one of the season's successes, an intense, scorching examination of nihilism.

--Associated Press

Gregory Keller's stage direction is honest, ungimmicky, and compelling.

--The New York Sun

The current cast functions as an inspired ensemble.

Expressionism has seldom seemed so urgent.

--Financial Times
