...dancers like "I ain't goin' nowhere!" and "Oh my goodness. I can't stand it no more" verbalize the sentiments of all who have suppressed joyous emotions when hearing Diana Ross and Smokey Robinson grab for our hearts through...woofers and tweeters. The "My Guy/My Girl" duet performed by Edna Davis and Lewis Robinson similarly brings to fruition a fantasy: the blending of the two songs which epitomize utter faithfulness...
...lisp and wittle-girl wiles. Then Greene sings-and the theater walls buckle in awe at her volume and power. In her solo, Somewhere That's Green, in which she dreams of a home with every consumer cliche the '50s could offer, and in her second-act duet with Wilkof, she proves that Ellen Greene, not Audrey II, is the wildest force of nature on the Orpheum stage.

Rochberg has done his best to flesh out the unpromising material. The opera, his first, is filled with striking set pieces: a lyrical duet for China (Tenor Neil Rosenshein) and his wife Annabella (Soprano Sunny Joy Langton); an ominous interview between China and his moneyed friend Orchis (Tenor Michael Fiacco), whose threatening nature is underlined by a snap-pizzicato line in the low strings; a good-natured, bibulous ensemble lauding the joys of wine.

His longer work, Concerto for Two Solo Pianos, illustrated just how recalcitrant Stravinsky can be: Martins' formidable clarity and order were exhausted by the endless drill of notes. Jacques d'Amboise's Serenade en la had one irresistible sequence: a lighthearted duet for two very short girls (Stacy Caddell and Nichol Hlinka), in which the arms are usually joined but the steps are almost never the same. Taras produced, as usual, a well-made piece (Concerto for Piano and Wind Instruments) notable mostly for its near veneration of Kyra Nichols, a young...
...subtly matures as it runs a course parallel to our actual aging. The Hindu might think that the antiself is a premonition of the soul's next life. Perhaps. But in the last moment of this life, self and antiself may coalesce. It should be their parting duet to mutter together: "On the whole, I'd rather be in Philadelphia." -By Lance Morrow
