...root of the problem lies with the operetta itself. The Harvard group would have been wise to follow the example of other G&S troupes, which seldom if ever mount this little-known work by the famous duo. As a matter of fact, the story of the colonization of Utopia and its incorporation into Utopia Limited borders on the inane and tedious.

His imagery of the Indian landscape has a conventional handsomeness that is more predictable then enlivening. His staging of the many and brutal confrontations between Gandhi's followers and their official oppressors is competent and craftsmanlike...
Verdi: If we cannot make something great from it, let us try at least to make something out of the ordinary. I beg you, do not neglect this Macbeth. I need an excellent chorus. Pay attention also to the stage machinery. I am sure that you will mount all the rest with that splendor that so distinguishes you and that you will pay no heed to economy...
