This is an odd experience. Last time I saw this was live at the ROH in the mid-80s with Solti conducting. And I was a different person, and knew so much less about opera than now (at least now I know how much I have yet to learn!). I wish I could go back and see all those operas again (I might have enjoyed Akhnaten and Xerxes at the ENO more, and of course being a founder member of WERMA I would not have been so horrified at David Alden's Madly Regie Mazeppa.
