Streetcar Named Desire (Previn Opera)

Searched and couldn't find this discussed elsewhere.

What is everyone's opinion on this opera adaptation on one of the greatest (and my personal favorite) play of all time? I have only heard "I Can Smell the Sea Air" and was mostly impressed, but was wondering if the rest of the piece is worth exploring. I'm not generally a big fan of opera, but I love this play so much I am intrigued how it translated. Would love to hear what everyone thinks.

And, at least seen on tv, I think Fleming's interpretation of Blanche is awful. Hoiby's opera of Williams' Summer and Smoke, while not perfect, is much better.

The work fails and one basic reason seemed to be that no one asked the fundamental question, "How can we tell the same story better?"



Just retelling the story as an opera is not enough.



Also none of these people needed literally to sing. They metaphorically already do without the need for actual scoring.
