As drama, the opera unfolded with all the shivering tension of one long, gradually building shriek, thanks in part to the almost balletic direction of Director Michael Cacoyannis (Zorba the Greek). But what made Mourning move was the inspired acting of two darkly beautiful sopranos-Marie Collier as the lusting mother, and Evelyn Lear as the revengeful daughter...
