4.0 out of 5 stars Challenging new work from the Andriessen/Greenaway stable., 5 Dec 2000
By A Customer
Following the stylish "M is for Man, Music and Mozart", Louis Andriessen has once again teamed up with director Peter Greenaway for this bizarre opera concerning the assassination of the (fictional) composer Rosa. At times extremely thought-provoking, if also a little un-nerving, the blend of Andriessen's music with Greenaway's libretto makes for an interesting evening's listening. This work loses some of its bite without the incredible imagery utilised on stage, but give it a whirl - with such a combination of composer and wordsmith, you can't go far wrong.

4.0 out of 5 stars Key Minimalist Opera, 4 April 2008
By Mr. Warren M. Fisher (East Grinstead, West Sussex United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
One of the key Minimalist operas, this ranks up with Glass's portrait operas ('Einstein', 'Satyagraha' & 'Akhnaten'), Adams' 'Nixon In China' and Monk's 'Atlas'. More consonant than some of Andriessen's other works, this is more conventionally 'Minimal' in the US (Glass) and UK (Nyman)sense - rhythmic with short, tonal repetetive cells utilising additive and reductive processes - and is all the better for it.

Powerful. enveloping and never less than gripping this is minimalsim at its best.
