the Cotton Blossom returns!

When I wrote (here) about last June's San Francisco Opera production of Show Boat, I ended with the hope that it would be released as part of their new series of DVDs. I'm getting my wish! The opera's website lists it as coming in June, but Amazon, where I first saw the listing this morning, gives 30 June as the date. They also have the cover art, which SF Opera doesn't have up yet. Amazon can be frightening. I'm looking forward to comparing the DVD with my memories of this generally excellent production.
