Jesse Green on Lynn Nottage and Ricky Ian Gordon's new opera.
Critic's Pick.
Also a question: I'm hoping to see the show later this month. And thought given the Mitzi E. Newhouse is 299 seats, that the performers wouldn't be amplified. But the first photo in the review looks as though the three women have microphones in their wigs. If someone has seen it, is the singing in fact amplified? Thanks.
