Kenneth Tynan wrote, 'What when drunk one sees in other women, one sees in Garbo sober.' All of 22 when she made 'Love' (based on Tolstoy's Anna Karenina), she gives a heart-stopping performance. As a mistress she's enraged, curious, passionate and sorrowful; as a mother she conveys a domestic ardor that's both moving and unsettling. Garbo's Anna is sui generis- and nonpareil.

"The score Anne Watts and Boister have devised for 'Love' brilliantly captures and enhances Garbo's psychological whirligig as Anna leaves propriety behind and brings both romantic and maternal love to the edge of madness. Boister's musical amalgam of classic Russian compositions and lyrical rampaging jazz has freshness, invention, and what's most crucial of all—an urgent, eddying passion." -Michael Sragow Baltimore Sun
