Nosferatu

Summary: What's opera without the music?
Review: In this case, it's a remarkable dramatic poem, in which good vs. evil, light vs. darkness, need vs. greed and all the other Big Fights come evocatively wrapped in a vampire's cape. Despite the grand scale of the tragedy and the Gothic settting, or maybe because of it, you will find yourself identifying with the cursed and gifted heroine, her doomed goof of a husband, and the desperately lonely Orlock. The language is straight-forward and precise. How long will it take the Anne Rice crowd to find the anthems waiting between the covers of this undiscovered masterpiece?
