From the Tribune review: "When Chicago last heard Rossini's "Mose in Egitto," it was 1863, Abraham Lincoln was the nation's president and the show came to town courtesy of a touring Italian opera troupe. Nearly 147 years elapsed before Chicagoans would get to experience Rossini's biblical opera a second time. Praise be to Chicago Opera Theater, then, for giving the city a long-delayed second hearing of "Moses in Egypt."
