Opera sets ‘Little Women' to music
For a new opera, this is off-the-chart success: More than 50 productions around the world in a decade. And that's without a famous composer or performer for a PR boost. Then again, Mark Adamo's opera does have a great name attached: “Little Women,” the Louisa May Alcott novel that inspired it.
