“Attridge successfully presented the libretto's rigid division between male and female groups, defined by competitiveness and collectiveness respectively, only to overturn them in a thought-provoking gesture at the close. The ensembles were some of the most compelling moments, from the soldiers' revelry – boyish roistering bordering on locker-room vulgarity – to the self-contained serenity of the women's spinning song.”
