...that fasten unaided - and equally swift transitions in mood and tone, as the scenes shift between postwar Brooklyn and wartime Poland. Fortunately for audiences and for Kirchschlager, she rose magnificently to the challenge. Though the opera itself, a four-hour-long work by British composer Nicholas Maw, has received mixed reviews, Kirchschlager's performance has won unanimous raves. The Sunday Times praised her "extraordinary eloquence." The Baltimore Sun said she "could not be more suited to the title role, physically, theatrically, vocally.

...mix of motives, both imputed and explicit, illustrates the conflicting notions of what the inspections are all about. Iraq hopes that the process finally exonerates the regime from charges that it retains forbidden weapons of mass destruction, thus possibly paving the way for an end to economic sanctions. At the same time, Baghdad suspects the U.S. of exploiting the situation to spy. The U.S. expects the inspections to prove that Saddam is still hoarding illicit weapons and deserves to be forcibly disarmed. For many members of the U.N., a clean-or cleanish-accounting is the only possible hope for heading...
