A conversation today struck off in the direction of bureaucracy, and then "The Consul."
A few years ago, I had watched a nice early-television version on Youtube, but it seems to have been pulled. A bit of searching found some snippets from it - a studio version in German from Vienna Volksoper (1973)
- Menotti: The Consul (Historical Studio Production 1963)
