...Spear in the Back. Within hours, the situation was so far out of control that British-appointed Governor Sir Richard Luyt declared a state of emergency throughout the colony, ordered a 7 p.m-to-5 a.m. curfew in one troubled area, and sent a hurry call to London that brought 500 more Tommies to reinforce the troops already on hand.

She strives for drama as well as spectacle; when her spear carriers enter, it is with a flash of steel and a purpose. She knows all the languages of opera, knows music so well that she often conducts. She pursues authenticity and realism to the point of demanding old chains instead of new rope on an obscure drawbridge...
