An abridged studio recording was made in 1961, featuring Adele Leigh, James Pease and Susan Hampshire.

A revival at the Northcott Theatre, Exeter, in the early 1980s with Jan Hartley-Morris as Sarah led to a large-scale revival in London which also toured the provinces in 1988.

This New Sadler's Wells Opera production by Ian Judge used a revised orchestration by Michael Reed, and was recorded complete ( although without dialogue ) by TER ( That's Entertainment Records ).

On stage, Valerie Masterson and Ann Mackay alternated in the major leading part of Sarah, with Martin Smith as Carl and Rosemary Ashe as Manon.

Valerie Masterson was chosen to record the role.
