I believe that kids need to have a lot of different "stimulus" to be able to decide what they like based on their own character !! And this is what I try to do with my children! during our lockdown here in Greece, i watched several different performances from greek national opera that hosted several online streaming with many options, like opera, ballet performances, dance performances for children, operetta https://www.nationalopera.gr/en and my kids enjoyed it as much as i did!<br />Matoulahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16581826110535318465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-416983732847060845.post-62272738388762438982020-05-13T17:38:50.176+01:002020-05-13T17:38:50.176+01:00It's you who deserve the thanks !

For two years they had been appearing on the variety stage as "The Artemus Boys," Mr. Baxter decided to star them in an open-air film dealing entirely with the adventures of three town boys in the English countryside, entitled The Grand Escapade. The boys were Peter Coyle of Newcastle ; Phillip Hartley of Hull, who before he went on to the variety stage was a page boy in a Hull cinema ; and Jack Armitage of Bradford who worked in a shutter factory. After The Grand Escapade Mr. Baxter decided to feature them in another film, Nothing Venture."A Rambling Duckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06066876672807109034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-416983732847060845.post-9469247221741214692019-10-06T19:32:27.226+01:002019-10-06T19:32:27.226+01:00Thanks for this.

Of course the original performances are separate and the manuscripts are different. All editions involve choices and Mahler scholars like Reinhold Kubik and Stephen Helfing both of whom are very well respected, whether you know them or not. On what basis can you claim they left out the passage you refer to because it was "vulgar" How did you know it wasn't Mahler's own revision for Weimar ?
