Anybody watch this recently? I remember it's first showing in the 1980s. Touching, moving, sometimes sad, sometimes humourous. Good old generous Verdi!

Not being at all familiar with this (and unable, alas, to see it):
It isn't given us to know those rare moments when people are wide open and the lightest touch can wither or heal. A moment too late and we can never reach them any more in this world. -
Can't even watch here

I came across it, channel hopping, but not too aware of its context. Yes, all the above. I imagine as a performer, life in retirement can easily include re-living the intensity of performance on stage. Worth watching, with understanding.Originally posted by Lordgeous View Post
(And I can see it in iPlayer - "available for over a year" it says ).

Watched it last night: very enjoyable. I was amazed that some of the costumes worn seemed to be in a private collection and not belong to the production/opera house. I hope they're now preserved somewhere.Comment

I remember this from original showing, thanks for pointing out it's on iPlayer, all lined up for this evening.....Pollo alla Puttanesca and a bottle of Primitivo should suit!Comment
