They include awkwardly leaping, ungrateful vocal lines, a wearisome tendency to have everything sung fortissimo, an ultimate sameness of musical vocabulary, and a dramatic shift at the end from an 18th century moral object lesson to a Götterdämmerung of destruction that occurs on "the last day of the earth."

There is little worry that Vellucci will retreat from his vocal support of rent control. But he could conceivably back Independent-sponsored resolutions that would handicap the rent control board in administering the city's restraints over landlords. And more important, Vellucci could support a weakening of the anti-condominium ordinances, which protect rent-controlled apartments from open market forces that would...
