I stumbled on this today. It's on Netflix now, which apparently is the first time audiences in the US have had an easy way to see this. I was blown away. I have loved this opera for most of my life, and the interesting setting in WW I was compelling to me. Kudos to Kenneth. But the grandeur of Mozart's music really overshadows everything. Pure genius. Why isn't this easily available in the US? No, it won't make a lot of money at the box office, but there are a lot of people who would end up getting a copy of this on DVD/Blu Ray.....Mozart is very popular and a nice version of one of his best operas in English will do well over the long term. It might even lure some people in who haven't listened to Mozart before. Lets get it out there, guys!
