Thank your for posting this extract from one of my favorite operas!
If I remember correctly, this production dates from the mid-seventies, and it does not show its age. Otto Schenk was a stage director who could get wonderful acting performances out of singers. Gundula Janowitz is absolutely charming, and so is Bernd Weikl, who - perhaps more so than Janowitz - was a natural born actor.
Thank you for this treat
