EARLY GERMAN OPERA FROM THE GOOSEMARKET (Angel). Opera in Germany in the early 1700s was dominated by the Italians, except in Hamburg, where a company on Goosemarket Street performed homegrown works such as Handel's Almira, Queen of Castile and The Proud, Fallen and Re-Elevated Croesus, by Reinhard Keiser, one of the most prolific opera composers of his day. A formal dance suite from Almira and several scenes from Croesus, along with excerpts from two other Goosemarket productions, are played by the Berlin Philharmonic, Wilhelm Brückner-Rüggeberg conducting...

Mary Moss, as the Queen, was perhaps the most delightful character in the whole play, delivering her lines with an almost uncanny perfection of timing...
...somewhat more explicitly than he could before, when he had to take time out for commercials. In Trap, Luciana Paluzzi adds sex appeal until gunfire spoils her game, but the story really concerns an ordinary housewife (Patricia Crowley) who helps Solo foil an assassination plot. A kind of Ellery Queen for a Day, she goes home with an armful of presents, having scored a clear win for small-screen morality...
