Work note: Tudor choreographed the dances in this production of Weinberger's opera by the Covent Garden Opera Company (artistic director: Sir Thomas Beecham). The programme does not name the ballet company; instead the credit reads: 'Ballet under the direction of Marie Rambert'. (The world premiere date shown on this record is for the choreography, not for the opera.)
