BWW Review: THE IMPRESARIO at Enigma Chamber Opera
by Andrew Child - Apr 8, 2021

There is a lot good about Enigma Chamber Opera’s new meta-comedy adaptation of Mozart’s The Impresario, but the highest praise must be reserved for its formatting as a highly scroll-able hour-long entertainment (mainly because it is actually at most a 20 minute performance trapped inside a redundant overdrawn explanation of and apology for itself).
