My local PBS station did not carry this broadcast. Would somebody who recorded it be willing to make me a copy? I have almost every MET telecast on DVD (recorded from TV of course) and I am open to trading videos. Hope to hear from you soon! Thanks!

A beautiful performance. But I missed the first few minutes, and at the end the “crawl” seemed to FLY! I could barely catch any of the credits. Who was the violinist? Who sang Palemon and Albine? Not even listed on this websiste – a real disservice to the wonderful cast and musicians.

I have been following GP at the Met this year, but I am surprised that “Thais” has not been broadcast in the Washington, DC, Harrisburg, PA, Maryland nor Virginia area. Was there something wrong with the performance? Thais is a terrific opera, and Fleming and Hampson usually do an outstanding job. So I am both puzzled and dissatisfied.

My wife and I watched Thais last night. An obscure opera to us became a very pleasant suprise. Very beautiful music and so well done. However, I agree that these programs receive little,if any, promotion by PBS stations. Earlier I missed Lucia because it was not even mentioned in the WPT Member Magazine. Please PBS people, pay a little attention to what your Art’s viewers are saying and give GP some spcial mention and support.

TO: Stuart M:

Jesús López-Cobos is the conductor.

Did you not watch the same program as we are talking about? This page is about the 2008-2009 season performance, not 1994.
