This production, from the 1990 Schwetzingen Festival was a co-production of Covent Garden and the Cologne Opera. The British cast includes Helen Field (Governess), Menai Davies (Mrs Grose), Richard Greager (Peter Quint), Phyllis Cannan (Miss Jessel), Machiko Obata (Flora), and Samuel Linay (Miles)(treble). The orchestra, conducted by Steuart Bedford, is the Stuttgart Radio Symphony Orchestra. The stage direction, by German Michael Hampe, is suitably eerie, catching the increasing tension as the story unfolds.
