Recording info:

Recorded live at English National Opera in 1995

I have never had so much fun as I had in this production . "Antic Hay" reigned supreme - both on and behind stage. clever, clever stuff from David P and Quinny S - how they made this unstageable semi-opera work as cohesive entertainment is extraordinary.
