Our German relatives were extremely upset not to see it in Germany, just over the radio. I Puritani was a dream come thru. Just fantastic. We couldn't get it out of our mind for days.

It was so exciting to arrive an hour early and find hundreds of other opera lovers streaming into the theatre. The crowds were so big that a second theater had to be opened at Silver City in Victoria B.C. The audience was so entranced they seemed to believe they were really there at the Met and there was applause along with the Met audience after the most thrilling arias and at the end. It was a wonderful experience and friend and I could talk of nothing else during lunch following the 10:30 am showing and the idea that we were part of a world wide audience added to our excitement. Even more wonderful, as we drove home, the opera we had just witnessed was repeated on CBC radio so we could listen to it all over again! Thankyou! Thankyou! Thankyou!
