Golden Age

Press Reviews

"…cunningly made, genuinely moving and—surprise of surprises—entirely accessible to those playgoers whose knowledge of opera begins and ends with Bugs Bunny…This is Mr. McNally's best play in years—maybe ever.“ —Wall Street Journal. ”Amid arias, mad scenes, catfights and swoons, enough opera lore to keep aficionados arguing long into the night.“ —The New York Times. ”Illuminating and mischievously humorous. A fascinating glimpse of the passions and piques of top-notch performers as they struggle to get through the pressure-cooker nerves of a major opening-night performance.“ —Associated Press. ”Terrence McNally loves opera and knows how to transfer his passion to theater audiences.“ —Newsday (NY). ”Pleasures abound in GOLDEN AGE, a charming and passionate love story."
