THE CAST OF 'CARMEN'
For those playing parts which were double cast, I have written a letter A if they played their parts of the first night, or a B if they were in the other cast.


Here's Carmen A (Sarah Tyler)

Here's Carmen B (Anita Reynell) looking quite pleased and Mercedes B (Gabi Highman).

    
Here's that same woman again with a rather colder expression, doing the habanera
Here she is again looking rather indifferent to some potential suitors.

 		 

Here she is with her hands tied singing the 'Seguidila' to Do José B (Matt Connolly).
Matt complained that his trousers were too tight. Everyone made the obvious joke about it helping him sing the high notes.
Here's Don José with Micaela B (Beatrice Freeman)
  
 
Here they are having a little hug.
Don José B (Harrison Sykes).

  
 
Micaela A (Helen Johnson)
Escamillo A (David Rose)

Escamillo B (Steve Lopez)
Who's this authorative-looking gentleman

It's Zuniga A (me).

 
 
Here's Zuniga B (Mike Severyn, who also played Morales A)
Here I am again, as Morales B with Don José and a few other soldiers (Keith Martin, Barrie Goldston and Ian Thomas)

They are actually a group of smugglers with El Remondado B (Stuart Dashwood), Carmen, El Dancaïro B (Keith Martin), Mercedes and fredi Teale (Frasquita).
A few cigarette girls
On the couch there's (Christine Aldridge, Elaine Mandel, Helen Johnson and Marianne Wentzel who also played Mercedes A. Off the couch there is Jill Noakes and Janet Avery.

 		 
Here's another pink garment, worn this time by El Dancaïro A (Barrie Golding)

I can't tell you how much I don't like the shirt that El Remondado A (Ian Thomas)on the right  wore. Also in this photo is Lilla Pastia (Christine Aldridge).
Here's Lilla again

Here are the cigarette girls wandering around in their flirtatious way.

Some of the inhabitants at Seville looking quite jolly.
