<<  -- 6 --  Maria Nockin    A LIGHT TOUCH

-------------------------------

This performance was given with a light touch. Although the arias were sung in German, the dialogue was performed in rhymed English. All the facets of this complicated art came together to make a wonderfully enjoyable evening in a far off place that Mozart and Schickaneder would never have imagined.
