Title: A disaster in English!
Review: WHAT were they thinking? I can't believe someone with a supposed knowledge of English came up with this travesty! I am sorry for the singers who had to learn it and perform it! It is NOT a singer's translation and it has nothing whatsoever to do with the Italian.There are grammatical mistakes and cutsey but awful rhymes and if it is supposed to be in honor of Gilbert and Sullivan they are turning over in their graves! I tried to learn it and it just doesn't sing well or read well. Back to Ruth and Thomas Martin! And I hate to think what the other Chandos "Operas in English" series are like.I doubt I will try to find out.
