Yesterday we had our first look at the DVD recording of When a Man Knows, made live at the 2nd performance on Friday 1st April, filming and post-production was done by post-graduate students from Greenwich University, with sound by Maproom Recordings. Despite problems on the night, notably the lighting desk crashing 2 or 3 times necessitating parts of the lighting plot being done by hand and requiring the opera to be re-started 3 times, the results are highly effective and atmospheric, capturing the production and the performance well.
