“Director R.B. Schlather deftly walks a porous boundary, casting this primordial paroxysm of German-ness as a dialogue between its naïve and moralistic narrative with its outsized legacy, while letting an excellent cast of young singers thrive in the intimate environment of Wolf Trap’s Barns, a venue perfectly suited to this sharpshooting show.”
