...great opera houses. The production, in its slight way, perfectly expressed the satirical charm of the libretto. The singers, all promising Juilliard students, had been rehearsed until they were practically free from amateurisms. Jack (at the premiere Soprano Mary Katherine Akins) was believably young but not too cute; the giant (Raymond Middleton) blustered as a giant should.
