A truly amazing work. For those who have read the book, the opera stays true to it and conveys the various spiritual battles, themes and emotions in such a marvelous way. VW was a genius at creating flowing musical lines with much emotion. Delectable.

Is the Entr'acte to Act III the bassoon one or the flute one?

I like the Carmen Suites, but I fell asleep during Act III when watching the real thing.
