It sounds lovely! I am pretty sure, though, that my reasons for looking it up were more general but that it was sadly far less available than I had hoped - as usual. I'll have to check again, though!
I wish you all possible haste of the proper region! And continue to be amazed in the wrong way by what isn't available in its countries of origin.
Oh, I hadn't even heard of that! I looked it up and found it on YT, so I have just also heard a little bit of Robin Ellis singing too, and will have to see if I can manage to watch the rest. I like Gemma Craven, too - I know her from The Slipper and the Rose - and I enjoyed The Shop Around the Corner when I watched it last year.
She's a very good Amalia—the role was originated in 1963 by Barbara Cook, so it requires a real voice—and it's a very good, slightly abridged version of She Loves Me which could have been done onstage. Diane Langton and Peter Sallis are marvelous as Ilona and Sipos. (David Kernan is a pretty much pitch-perfect Kodaly, the character just needs drowning in a bucket.) And until The Europeans, I believe this musical to have been my sole experience of Robin Ellis. He's a really lovely Georg.
LOL, I have also seen several grounds or gardens of places but not houses/castles etc for similar reasons.

Very popular choice!
