The Covent Garden performances were not a success, and the company dropped the opera from its repertoire in 1952. However, a student production at the [[University of Cambridge]] in 1954 met with greater approval from the composer, notably for the performance of [[John Noble (baritone)|John Noble]] as Pilgrim. John Noble later recorded the role in the recording conducted by [[Adrian Boult|Sir Adrian Boult]] in 1970–71 (see [[The Pilgrim's Progress (opera)#Recordings|Recordings]] below).
