By Keith Powers| Classical Voice North America@ BOSTON — Fed up with war, Lysistrata leads both Athenian and rival Spartan women in a sex strike. For Aristophanes, over two millennia ago, that was the premise for a bawdy punfest of a comedy. For composer/librettist Mark Adamo, the weak-kneed standoff between lusty women and their agonizingly erect men not only tries comically to end a war but also attempts to engender a broader discussion of fate and identity. Sometimes it succeeds.
