5.0 out of 5 stars Orpheus in the Underworld, March 16, 2000
By 
Larry (New York, NY) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Offenbach: Orpheus in the Underworld / Burgess, Watson, etc (Highlights) (Audio CD)
The rewritten lyrics, in English, are some of the wittiest and wicked in operetta. Wilson and Pountney have recaptured the spirit of naughtiness, not a small accomplishment in our licentious times. Though delighted to have the highlights, I wished a CD set or video of the full production were available.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excerpts, December 22, 1999
This review is from: Offenbach: Orpheus in the Underworld / Burgess, Watson, etc (Highlights) (Audio CD)
This is a collection of excerpts. It is in English and is quite good. The performance of the entire operetta has been discontinued and it is a pity.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Splendid Souvenir to Remember a Spectacular Performance!, October 29, 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Offenbach: Orpheus in the Underworld / Burgess, Watson, etc (Highlights) (Audio CD)
Having been fortunate to have seen the English National Opera's production in 1988 of "Orpheus" with Wilson and Pountney's outrageously naughty English text, this highlight CD serves as an audio souvenir. Too bad the ENO didn't have the foresight to film the production-would have made a great DVD. The CD booklet does have a few photos of the sets designed by Gerald Scarfe (who also designed Pink Floyd's "The Wall" album artwork) so you get a taste, combined with the CD selections, of what the production was like.
