Note:
The video comes from a murky, badly encoded grey market DVD that is itself sourced from a VHS recording of a Danish television broadcast that contained hardcoded Danish subs.
I carefully timed and positioned the English subs to cover the Danish.
In addition to its other deficiencies, the original video was marred by a roughly 10-second gap in the audio near the beginning of Act I. Unfortunately, this is the only copy of this telecast that I was able to locate. In order to remedy this disruption in the audio, therefore, I substituted the missing section of music from an unrelated audio recording of the opera with a different cast. Far from an ideal solution, but I think it plays better than if the audio were absent altogether. That said, hopefully another copy of this classic performance with eventually turn up.
