This is the broadcast that comes six days before the Met telecast performance with the same cast. The video is available in MOoD. Dutoit in his Met debut season has just the right Gallic snap for this sprawling work, and Shicoff , Morris, and Laciura hold up the male side splendidly. The women are all sufficient to their task, and thanks to the conductor, it is an outstanding Hoffmann.
