Metaphysical Anxiety. Under the firm baton of New York City Opera Director Julius Rudel, the singers projected their parts with clarity and polish while threading their way through Ming Cho Lee's surrealistic settings. Mexican Tenor Salvador Novoa eloquently voiced the pain and weakness of the Duke, and statuesque Joanna Simon, as the courtesan, sang her seduction aria in a lustrous mezzo-soprano...

The first of his three themes deals with the astonishing marriage of Corporal Martim-a cardsharp and famed capoeria* fighter-to Marialva, who is as beautiful as a saint in a procession but as dark and devious as Lilith. This story soon blends with one about Negro Massu and the christening of his blue-eyed son. There are problems here, since Ogun, the Voodoo god of iron, has been named godfather...
