Very effective comparison of the 2 situations, and they are different, yet similar.
The music is just scaffolding for the storytelling, and an excuse to have repetitive words. The narrative is very oblique; we don't learn much about anyone in the story, but nonetheless get to understand their plight.
Glyndebourne Opera, cond. Reynolds; 7
