The music lives
I love the music of this old Christmas piece, full of memories. I've listened to it on records and CDs for years, but I wanted the visual effect of the opera, which I have seen onstage, live. This is a film of the original production;,uesbut sadly, the 1955 TV production values are a disappointment. I expected black-and-white, but the total effect is so much inferior to, say, a 1955 motion-picture film. That said, the voices are splendid!
