Philip Behrens
I’m reminded of one of many first events after I spent any time with James Jorden. I first met James at a vacation get together at Marco Schmid’s. On a later date, Marco (an ideal cook dinner) invited each of us for dinner and energetic opera dialog ensued, though I don’t bear in mind getting a lot of an opportunity to talk that night. After dinner, James, as he was wont to do, prompt we watch a VHS tape (sure, it’s been that way back) he’d introduced alongside; it turned out to be highlights of Gwyneth Jones—an ideal favourite of theirs, however undoubtedly not one among mine.
After an unsubtle out of doors encounter between Elektra and Mother (Leonie Rysanek) concluded, this clip of Jones as Hanna started–my cue to exit.
There’s, in fact, additionally a Lustige Witwe starring Anja Silja, carried out by at least Christoph von Dohnanyi, her husband on the time.

Trove Thursday some time again supplied a Lustige Witwe starring Edda Moser.
