"Skillful ‘Three Decembers’ makes chamber opera sparkle online…In the age of pandemic-driven musical streaming, chamber and even orchestral music can be managed with a little dexterity. Opera is considerably harder. Harder, yes — but not impossible, as the elegant and efficient new offering from Opera San José clearly demonstrates. The company’s recorded production of “Three Decembers,” a compact chamber work by composer Jake Heggie and librettist Gene Scheer, feels like a dexterous how-to for artistic operating within the age of COVID."
