| To her credit, the cherishable mezzo-soprano Dolora Zajick let loose as the scheming Princess Eboli. Yeadon (accompanied for most of the year by his wife, Anne) has done what all serious students of literature dream about: he has followed the trail of one of his favorite books, Christ Stopped at Eboli by Carlo Levi, to experience for himself the uncanniness of southern Italy, replete with its superstition, poverty, ancient ways, curses, and the supernatural. That earlier byline endeavor already brought Astarita south of Eboli where, Carlo Levi reminds us, even Christ did not go; to describe Pentidattilo, the locale of his latest investigation, as godforsaken is no exaggeration. |
