Amazing upload- THANKS SO MUCH!! I'm finally off to see a live production after writing about it for my dissertation in 2004!! Going to the Barbican this May.

Yes! That was wonderful. I'm going to see it in NY in September! Any chance you'd upload the rest of the opera, or share a copy of the performance in it's entirety?  I promise not to re-distribute, and would pay all shipping costs. : > )
