...classical story of Virgil's Aeneid. This part, an alto role traditionally assigned to female singers, is performed by a male student, Christopher Thorpe '98, who someone must have decided was a counter-tenor of some sort. However, all of his lines sounded as if they were sung in a bad falsetto. The odd effect was emphasized by a very strange makeup job which made Thorpe's Sorcerer seem not like something supernatural or frightening but merely a werewolfish extra from a very bad horror movie...
Equally vital is the musical element of the production. Garcia Lorca's text for the play makes occasional use of sung elements, and frequent use of monologues framed explicitly in the meters of lyrical poetry, rather than prose. The music used in Spanish-language productions of the play is usually based on traditional Spanish folk tunes, but setting the English translation to those melodies would have been difficult.

L'Allegro is, as the title suggests, full of bright, youthful phrasing and imagery. Hymen is invoked and the praise of "bustling cities" sung. Il Penseroso, on the other hand, is filled with the language of age, of cloisters, weariness and Heaven. The speaker plans to enter "a peaceful hermitage" where he hopes to sit and reflect at the end of life. The third part is based on Jennens' contribution, Il Moderato, a moralizing...
