I'm impressed! (Reminder to self to buy Amazon stock.)
Yes... I think I'm at the point that I need to put a halt to new CDs and catch up with the 100+ operas I have waiting in my "to be heard" pile. For the foreseeable future I think its time to focus on DVDs and Blue Rays of favorite operas.

I saw the production (with Charles Workman as the Prince) last Friday, and it was OK. It had some nice moments, but I feel it didn't go far enough when it came to exploring things like the theatre-within-theatre aspects of the piece. But the scene with the cook is utterly hilarious.
EDIT: I forgot to add that the production seemed a bit under-rehearsed and suffered comically because of it. But I think this is more because it was a revival.
