THE CAST OF
'THE TALES OF HOFFMANN'
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 Hoffmann A (Matt Connolly) wooing his Olympia (Fredrica Teale).

Here is the Muse A (Anita Reynell), wearing her toga, with a tired-looking David Rose.

   
Fredi's is worn out after all those high notes.
The muse has made her tranformation into Nicklausse, the smartly-dressed young manservant.

Also in this photo is Giulietta A (Katie Bowen-Roberts, wearing a silver dress), Stella A (Adela Bujakova, with the feather, also played Natalie B), Schlemil (Mike Severyn) and chorus people Christine Aldridge and Lynn Houghton.
Olympia B (Kirsten Morrison)

 		 
The Musical director and conductor (Derek Carden) with Hoffmann B (Mick Pardoe), wearing the 'Harry Potter' glasses.

Mick was good with his facial expressions.
Here he is with his Nicklausse (Sarah Tyler).
