But even if the production was missing some of the requisite revolutionary edge — and yes, leaving out business of lighting the bomb’s fuse certainly detracted from the tension of the lengthy scene between the King and Anetta — the music, on its own terms, was pretty stunning. Kudos to OLO for mounting it, and yes, can’t wait for the coming CD!

agree with Kevin’s insights, and also would love to see it again, done with more of a “revolutionary edge”. But the Ohio group
deserves to be thanked: not just for putting on these wonderful performances, but in the excellence of the recent symposium.

(The king of Portugal?) are equally interesting to see. A great performer, no doubt. Thanks for sharing this.
