Adam Guettel and Craig Lucas' musical adaptation of Elizabeth Spencer's 1960 short novel has a majestic poise that's hard not to appreciate in an era when the Broadway musical has assumed the slouch of a pouty, overgrown adolescent with headphones blaring yesterday's Top 40 hits. The show, revolving around a complicated love story between a young Florentine bachelor and an American woman with a sad secret her mother doesn't want to get out, has a cumulative power that can bowl over anyone not too busy poking at its flaws. And who would want to do that in the company of Guettel's ravishing operatic score?
