What a gem! I skimmed through the "highlights" and was impressed by how well-produced the production is -- shot in 1971 but the design doesn't seemed dated. I liked the singers, but Armstrong is the standout. Only 29 years old here I think, and she just sounds so classy.

The ENO singers of the 70's and 80's were major artists on the world's opera stages. It was really a completely ball game then
