[...] Mark Streshinsky, general director of the scrappy and inventive West Edge Opera, decided to pool all the company's resources into one concentrated burst of activity. The season opens with Puccini's familiar "La Bohème," and continues with "Hydrogen Jukebox," Philip Glass' treatment of poetry by Allen Ginsberg, and Jake Heggie's operatic version of the Graham Greene novel "The End of the Affair." The theatrical approach to each work is also varied, ranging from a relatively straightforward production of the Heggie to an offbeat "Bohème" involving lots of audience involvement.
