We saw an extraordinary and shatteringly beautiful performance of this wonderful opera at Kaneko, in Omaha, Nebraska, recently. Each element; from scenery to staging to musical direction to costuming --- let alone the crushing sadness and elegance of the music & the libretto --- made 'Proving Up' an experience that we will never forget. Art at it's best!

I just saw it in Pittsburgh and thought the libretto was very weak. Didn't convey much.
Starting rehearsals on this tomorrow here at UMich, very excited!
