Here is Don Ottavio (David Loxham) trying to console
Donna
Anna (Penny Fletcher) follwing the killing of her father.
|
|
|
Here
is Don Giovanni A (David Rose) taking me aside.
|
Here's
Donna Elvira (Elaine Watts) wondering where her mischievous hasband has
got to.
|
|
|
Here I
have to taks of infroming her about his bad deeds.
|
So I
take out the book.
|
|
|
Here's Masetto (Stephen Roe) siniging about his
forthcoming marriage (and looking a little camp).
|
| Here
Don Giovanni is telling me off for trying to do the thing that he does.
|
 |
|
Masetto is reluctant to come away with me.
|
| He's
trying his luck with Zerlina (Adrienne Walters). |
|
|
Don
Giovanni is pointing towards his estate.
The girls in the pink dresses
are 'the demons' (in this picture are Deborah Feldman, Helen Shpeherd
and Jenny Lucas).
|
| It
seems to have worked. |
 |
|
But
then his 'amusement' is interrupted.
|
DG is
mometarily relived that Anna does necognise him as being the killer
|
 |
|
But
then that changes!
|
Giovanni
twarts one of my attempts to desert him, and isn't ruffled by Elvira
divulging his secrets.
|
|
|
'He
didn't touch the tips of my finger' she says.
|
Giovanni is about to put on another of his big parties.
(The two servants with the trays are Tony Dutton and Celeste Handford)
|
|
|
He
invites them both to the dance. Masetto does not look keen.
|
The
maskers prepare themselves to find out the truth.
|
|
|
In order
to distract Masetto, I offer myself as a dance partner.
|
A little persuasion is required.
|
|
 |
The maskers look on keenly as Giovanni tries to make
it
look as though
it was who has just tried to ravish Zerlina. They do not believe him!
|
He
does the voice, I do the actions.
We can see the fourth demon in this picture (Emma Berge).
|
|
|
Now I
really do have to imitate his voice, and try not to look at Elvira's
face.
|
He entertains Elvira's maid (Madeline Tickner) with his
madolin.
|
|
|
Here
is Masetto with his chums, ready to kill Giovanni with their
horticultural tools (the man using bare fists is Ken Hurford).
|
But
the well disguised Giovanni sends them on a wild goose chase.
|
|
|
Take that for the pistol!
|
Where does it hurt?
|
|
|
Much better now!
|
Having
realised that Don Giovanni and Leporello have swapped clothing, they
know now who the guilty party is.
|
 |
|
Here's Ottavio in full flow.
|
That wretch tricked me again!
|
|
|
Finally Anna and Ottavio are to be married.
|
Sadly, I have no pictures the last section.
Here is the Commedatore (Mike Taylor) offstage though.
|
|
|
I took a few photos from the earlier part of
the other dress rehearsal as
well.
Here's Don Giovanni (Donald Kaye) looking over the mortally wounded
Commendatore (Bernhard Credé).
|
Here's Don Ottavio (Jon Meredith) and Donna Anna
(Claire Marsden)
|
|
 |
Here's Leporello and Dona Elvira (Sue Lowry)
|
|
|
 |
 |
Here's Zerlina (Clasrissa Dunn) and Masetto (Nigel
Oram).
|
Here are some merry picnicers.
Joining the picnic are the sprites (Elanor Davidson and Kelisha
Sheppard).
|
 |
 |
Here is the director (Vicci Mitchell Luker), the
music director (Aland Reddish) and the orchestra leader (Evelyn
Chadwick).
