Bastien and Bastienne (film)
Bastien and Bastienne is a 1963 Australian television performance of the opera Bastien and Bastienne by Mozart. Australian TV drama was relatively rare at the time.[1]
It was directed by Christopher Muir, who said: "We will not be presenting the opera as it was originally performed. We will be doing it in a style that will lend itself to TV, but we have, of course, treated the work with great respect to the young Mozart's original intention."[2]
