Gradually, with ever-widening vocal leaps and roller-coaster plunges, she worked up to her thoughts of revenge and-with a piccolo shrilling-to the murder of her own and Jason's children. The piece ended in a gloomy postlude. When it was over, the orchestra gave Thebom a concerted "Bravo!", and the audience, once it recovered its composure, called her back five times...
