...Dappertutto is all bluster and crafty swagger, perhaps reflecting the lessons he once took from a Mexican matador. His Dr. Miracle demonstrates the hypnotic effect of the most stylistic, crafty and flexible set of arms and legs in all opera.

Glenda Jackson, in Elizabeth R, is more subtle, but equally brilliant, with an astonishing ability to convey mood and nuance and to switch from a purr to a roar. "We are," Elizabeth proudly and accurately proclaimed, "of the nature of the lion...
