This opera is WAY too OVERRATED and I will never understand the acclaim it receives . The so-called music is like rancid vinegar, stinging, sour and angry, devoid of lyricism and even minor snatches of melody. I have been an ardent opera fan for 56 years and mercifully never sat through this, although I was once tortured by attending Death in Venice.
@@barrymorentz5190 Well, thank goodness YOU came along to set us all straight on this opera! Did anyone get a chance to convey the bad news to Benjamin Britten?
This opera is WAY too UNDER rated. It is a magnificent piece of work. And I LOVE this clip!
met opera posted old simulcasts during Covid and this was one of them, I agree, a fantastic work of music and drama!

My compliments on your Auntie, who may be the only person in the Borough whom I am comfortable calling both a good and a functional person!

Anyone know what opera company this is?
Students at indiana University School of Music, the largest music school in the US I think.
Old joe has gone fishing, Old Abram Brown is dead and gone you will never see him more. etc
