NYCO A Little Night Music Thoughts?

Posted by:	MarkBearSF 03:43 am EDT 09/10/14

One late Sunday night, I happened upon what must have been a rebroadcast of the New York City Opera's production or A Little Night Music, back in 1990. At the time, my only knowledge of ALNM was bad covers of "Send in the Clowns." I tuned in about 20 minutes into the broadcast and was captivated but didn't pursue learning more many years. I rediscovered the show and devouring the OBCR, LCR, and the revival, the misfire of the movie and finally, the Broadway revival (both casts). Through the years, I kept remembering that late night TV. Not only in comparison to other performances, but also Bergman films (Smiles of a Summer Night, of course, but also Fanny & Alexander). Since it was a "Live From Lincoln Center" broadcast, I assumed that I would only have my memories. A few days ago, after talking to a friend, I searched a popular video site and found a grainy copy. I was so impressed. It felt more "complete" than the Nunn revival and the supporting roles were so well performed (and directed) - such a joy to see Danielle Ferland and Anna Kendrick. Does anyone have any memories, stories or opinions of the NYCO production?
