Misc. Comments

Gertrude and Virginia is a rescoring with a reduced instrumental ensemble of Scene 6 of Fine’s chamber opera The Women in the Garden (pp 73 - 88 of the typeset score). Note that scene divisions do not appear in the original score; they were added by the composer for performance purposes.

Review

…a whimsical dialogue between the two writers, Gertrude Stein and Virginia Woolf. Miss Fine’s touch was unfailingly light.

—Bernard Holland, The New York Times, June 11, 1981
