REVIEWS
"The Seasons" ("Tale for a Deaf Ear")

N.Y. TIMES - 1957 "An almost uninterrupted succession of four great emotional climaxes which he puts across in no uncertain terms"

N.Y. TIMES - 1997 "Musically Mr. Bucci is like a harmonically crunchier, brashly American Puccini, who has beem more interested in creating vivid stage works than in pushing the cutting edge of musical modernism...The scoring...is striking."


MARK BUCCI's one act horse opera-
A CAST OF THOUSANDS!
created by three singers and no set
soprano, mezzo and baritone
or
soprano, tenor in drag and baritone
 
One of the most popular operas with audiences of all ages, "Sweet Betsy" has garnered enthusiasm here and abroad for the last four decades.


And now, the sequel - - -

("The Revenge")
 
 
Miraculously surviving her demise, Betsy presses on - only slightly encumbered by amnesia.
