...loving the sound of one's own voice in the truest sense, of demanding applause and cheers from the rest of the human race, it's definitely annoying to the point of destructive. The Kroks are a little bit of both.

It's a scenario, says Monath, that's become increasingly common in a jet-setting...
...WHAT TO LOOK FOR: Expect the raunchy and entertaining-this opera will open with Jason singing about his inability to stand after a rough night of sex with Medea. You can look forward to authentic costumes and staging (Pierce is an expert on Baroque dance) hardly seen since in the last four centuries...
