Since I was just a babe in arms when this production was broadcast on PBS, I am also grateful for its existence. Above all, what this production got so right (besides the musicianship, of course) was the casting. I think virtually all of the principle and supporting casting is perfect. And, with all due respect to Ms. Gingold, I think Regina Resnik might be the definitive Mdme. Armfeldt. I saw the 2004 LA Opera revival of this same NY Opera production. Again, the casting was nearly perfect in LA with Judith Ivey, Victor Garber, Laura Benanti, Zoe Caldwell, Marc Kudisch, Michelle Pawk, Kristen Bell and a gorgeous 45 piece orchestra. Still, all these years later, the best single evening of musical theatre I've experienced. I left walking on air.
