New Sadlers Wells Opera Conducted by Barry Wordsworth

Released this month (November 97) are the next two recordings from JAY of the operettas series of recordings with the New Sadlers Wells Opera, The Merry Widow and The Count Of Luxembourg by Franz Lehar. These two albums, recorded in Digital, include in the casts such artists as Marilyn Hill Smith, Eiddwen Harrhy, Ramon Remedios, Neil Jenkins and Joan Davies.

When The New Sadlers Wells Opera previewed their new production of The Merry Widow in a new English translation by Nigel Douglas, it was an instant hit. Therefore it is befitting that JAY should have recorded the original cast of that production as part of it's operettas in English, the others being; The Count Of Luxembourg, The Countess Maritza and Orpheus In The Underworld (coming soon).

This recording stars Opera Diva Eiddwin Harrhy as Hanna Glawari. All the worlds favourite music is here given new English translation; Words Forbidden, Just As The Sun Awakens, Vilja and Off To Old Maxims.
