A chamber opera about the flight and the view from high.
Press quotes
La musica è fluida, ironica anche quando fa la sentimentale. Campogrande non scorda mai quanto è colto. Mette sempre una nota sbagliata, una risoluzione che non ti aspetti per evocare Cole Porter o Sanremo senza rifarli
– Nicola Gallino, la Repubblica, March 22, 2001
