Broadway World writes, “#OdysseyOpera, in partnership with the @bmop, will present the revival of the engaging comic opera The Last Savage at the Huntington Theatre… With music and libretto by Gian Carlo Menotti, this three-act 20th-century ‘grand opera buffa’ comprises an eclectic score and unexpected libretto delightfully subverting convention through Mozartian musical tropes”

Their partnership resulted in many works, incl. The Red Eye of Love, Dynamite Tonite, McTeague, View from the Bridge, and four volumes of cabaret songs.
