There are a wide variety of musical structures which fit well with what is taking place on the stage. Auber influenced most musicians who followed him in the lighter opera vein. In short, it is a very pleasant listen, particularly if one can follow the dialogue. If one is interested in opera comique it is a must own. I have seen the recording in the New York City Tower Records stores and in the Borders Bookstore shops in New York State.
Tower lists it on their web site.
