Andre Previn has enjoyed an inarguably remarkable career, rising from humble beginnings as a German refugee to become one of the world's best respected composers and orchestral directors. Previn has won Academy awards for his film scores, served as conductor for the London Symphony and the Los Angeles Philharmonic, and recorded a series of well-received albums as a jazz pianist.

In the first place, I was dissapointed because the writeup led me to believe I was getting a second opera by Andre Previn. His first, "A Streetcar Named Desire" is one of my favorites. I was hoping "The Kindness of Strangers" was a second opera.
Secondly I dislike documentary format becasue it mixes the real information with a lot of extraneous stuff to fill up the time .
However, I was pleased with the new information about one of my favorite musicians. I enjoyed seeing the cast again and the making of the opera.
