The epidemic which followed original sin
Gian Luigi Mattietti | L’opera | March 2001
Gil Shohat’s Alpha and Omega was an immense, unprecedented success. A contemporary opera which received a standing ovation!. An opera which even the toughest critics considered an outstanding work by the national opera. Shohat’s music is lyrical and emotional, like all of the composer’s recent works. It is characterized by a definite, strong and stable vocal line, asserting a versatile style – a musical quest culminating in expressive climaxes, underpinned by harmonic writing and composition and brilliantissimo orchestration.
