How did you record this? The sound quality is real darn good.

[philipglassfan]

I used an inexpensive pair of lapel microphones under my sweater along with a Hi-MD recorder. I was seated in the Grand Tier.

I would love to hear/see this! They don't put up stuff like this in Sweden.

I LOVED this opera. I am actively looking for any recording of this anywhere. It truly was spectacular.
