Though the opera was sung in English, the supertitles were very helpful to understand what was going on. I did appreciate that some of the performers made an attempt to use a Southern accent, no small feat. The costumes were excellent and the sets elaborate, if somewhat macabre, but fitting for the period. I especially enjoyed a scene in which the house where the surrender had just taken place was ransacked down to its very frame. Overall, an interesting and educational night at the opera.
