Reception

The Sydney Morning Herald thought "the unashamed but essentially domestic and intimate sentiment" of the opera "proved exceptionally congenial to television" and thought it had "a technical excellence in presentation that might serve as a model for future televised operas. The performers were reasonably efficient in mouthing to their own prerecorded singing.. There was little outstanding singing, but plenty of competent workmanship."[1]
