Commentaires : Adapted from the Italian by Mario Fratti and based on the Fellini Film “8 1/2”. The original Broadway production had a cast of 21 women and just one man. It ran for 732 performances and won four Tony Awards. It had been given a London concert performance at the Festival Hall in 1992 with Jonathan Pryce and Liliane Montevecchi, and the resultant CD introduced the work to many enthusiasts in the UK. This was its first staged performance. It was praised for its sophistication and emotional depth, though many felt the music was too subtle and haunting, the mood too brittle and bitter-sweet to find a mass audience. Like Sondheim, this was specialist fare.
