...climax, Hubbard arrests Devereaux for the torture and murder of Tariq Husseni, an American citizen, and reads the general his Miranda rights. "There's a swelling of music and you feel like that's what America stands for, the rights that he's reading, that apply even to this American Caesar, [played by] Bruce Willis," Bybee suggests. "[These rights] have become soaked into our culture, part of what we think of as the guarantees of American freedom and what we stand...

Reducing the prevelance of the flashbacks, the opera tells the story sequentially, with an ending climax where Ethan and Mattie have an aria "reminiscent of Macbeth--a crossing of the paths" which makes use of the Neapolitan scale that followed Allanbrook Sr. home from the Santo Carlo Operas. Egan, who spent the summer working at the Santa Fe Opera with Jonathan Miller, will be stage directing the preformance, and his hand-picked cast promises a great show...

The climax has potential, but ends up as a typical action stand-off with few deviations. Bruce Willis seems confused, as his character initially warns the government against an army invasion; yet moments later, he has morphed into a power-hungry zealot, relentlessly pursuing all those he views as enemies of the state, Hubbard included. The Siege has its thrills and suspenses, and its big name cast shouldn't fail to lure the crowds, but don't expect much more than...
