I agree with Friedrich that it is worth getting the DVD of this superb version, as it is not hard to find. There are some very fine performances indeed but a better Ida than Nan Christie would be unimaginable and this excerpt shows why. She plays it completely straight when sympathising with her '...poor tortured father...' which was undoubtedly the correct approach, her singing is wonderful and her commanding, almost Wagnerian performance at the end of act 2 and in 'I built upon a rock' is beyond

I've only seen Frank Gorshin as "The Riddler" in the 60's BATMAN series ... I'm surprised he does such a good job as "King Gama" in this song.

He was definitely one of the better stunt castings in this series (along with Vincent Price in _Ruddigore)._ I’ve heard he later reprised this role with a professional opera company, and got pretty good reviews.

So why are some of these videos blocked? Weird.

+Ellen Spear Because the copyright owner doesn't want me to reduce their sales of the DVDs I assume. This probably "is" the best video version of Princess Ida (there aren't many, admittedly), so it's probably worth getting the DVD.
