Wow - this seems astounding.

I fell in love with it and I don't think it's only my susceptibility to the sea. I really wish this cast could make a recording. If we're talking technically, they were all clear-carrying, character-voiced singers with some of the best diction I've heard. (English, no surtitles, and I missed only some of the lines where Sandy sees his ghosts.) As actors, I found them equally convincing, especially Blazes and Sandy. And the orchestra was rocking the hell out of music that sounded unplayably difficult the more the conductor discussed it. I find myself hoping someone at least sneaks in an iPod, just so there's a record.
