Notes
- General
- Operema was a series of seven dramas that told the stories behind the music.
- Reviews
- "... It was just a shame that the play was overshadowed by the New York Metropolitan’s performance of Shostakovich’s opera, broadcast on Saturday night - the effect was like getting surtitles on a 24-hour delay, and the sense of anti-climax was emphasised by having Shostakovich’s music injected at climactic moments, which seemed like an admission that the drama couldn’t work by itself". (Robert Hanks, The Independent 13 December 1994).
