FROM THE FIDELIO EXERPT
 |
The villagers of Seville and the prisoners greet the arrival of the minister, Don Fernando (Geoff Horwood). |
|
Here are some the prisoners (Hilary Pearce, Janet Arons, Vicci Mitchell-Luker and Adrinne Walters) with Marzeilline (Julia Beynon) |
 |
|
 |
The villagers were played by Tony Dutton, Madeline Tickner, Claire Marsden, Marlena Richter and Mignonette Aarons. |
|
Rocco (Stephen Roe) asks Fernando to help out the wrongly imprisoned Don Florestan (Matthew Connolly) and Leonore (Elaine Watts). |
 |
|
 |
Leonore removes her cap. Now Don Pizarro (Mike Taylor) is getting nervous. The little guard (Ken Hurfurd) is looking on, and later ushers him away. |
|
Don Fernando invites Leonore to take the key from Jaquino (Jon Meredith) and relieve Florestan of his chains. |
|
|
 |
Free at last. |
|
How romantic |
 |
|
 |
Time for a drink. Pizarro won't miss his bottle of vintage sherry. |
|
Bottoms up! |
 |
|
 |
There's a lot in that bottle. |
|
Poor Marzelline. The man of her dreams is a woman! |
 |
|
 |
I thnk that belt was overlong |
|
The final chorus. |

FROM THE MANON LESCAUT EXERPT
 |
Here Manon (Anne Denham) is showing her dress to her brother (me). |
|
Here is the young male singer (Marlena Richter) accompanied by some girls (Adrienne Walters, Hilary Pearce, Madeline Tickner and Mignonette Aarons who's out of the picture). |
 |
|
 |
What a pretty sirte |
|
I ain't giving them a tip |
 |
|
FROM THE TROILUS AND CRESSIDA EXERPT
 |
What a sinister looking bunch. |
|
In the back row are Troilus (Matthew Commolly), Pandarus (Ken Hurford), Cressida (Claire Marsden), Calkas (me), Diomede (Geoff Horwood) and Evadne (Adrienne Walters). |
 |
|
 |
Troilus and Diomede draw their knives. |
|
But then Troilus is stabbed by Calkas. |
 |
|
 |
Diomede sends Calkas back to Troy, in fetters. |
|
Cressida weeps over Troilus' dying body. |
 |
|
 |
What's she going to do with that dagger. |
|
Take her own life, of course. |
 |
|
 |
I think Tony wold make a good pearly queen. |
