Talk:Mourning Becomes Electra (opera)

Not a critical success

From the article: "The original production was critically well received"

There's no source for this, and today's NY Times says the opposite:

"But after the critical failure of his most famous work in the late 1960s,.... The Met rarely commissions operas, and its selection of Mr. Levy was a signal honor. But at its premiere, “Mourning” met with unfavorable notices and after its brief run vanished from the American repertory." http://www.nytimes.com/2015/02/15/arts/music/marvin-david-levy-opera-composer-who-became-a-felon-is-dead-at-82.html

I'd change it myself, except that I'm not good with Wikipedia markup. Omc (talk) 19:39, 15 February 2015 (UTC)
