Alban Berg's opera Wozzeck seems to suggest that cruelty is a slope humanity is inclined to slide down even as our better natures try to prevail. It's an uncompromising and important artistic statement executed brilliantly by director Sir David McVicar and Lyric Opera. Highly Recommended! (read John Olson's entire review...)
