Many apologies for Ian, I didn't actually find out the names of most of the cast until the opening night. I did, however, post the dates, the fact that it was Nottingham Theatre Royal, and a phone number for the box office. I will try to put more information next time, and a couple of reminders. I did find myself with much less time than I expected with lots of rehearsals, and then the show seemed to come around and be over very quickly. That's a shame, but it was filmed by a professional company, and I'm getting some copies of the video! It will be nice to see (and hear) myself on stage.
Next operas will be next year now. Probably Pearl Fishers in March, also in Nottingham, and maybe l'elisir d'amore in July in Sheffield. I'll have to keep my fingers crossed.
My programme for the Turandot is now in my girlfriend's front room, but from memory the cast was
Turandot - Sharon Nicholson-Skeggs Calaf - Martin Neil Dunn Emperor - Colin Reed (pretty sure about this one) Liu - Joanna Shacklock Timur - Stephen Godward Ping - Simon Theobald Pang - Melvyn White Pong - David Parkins Mandarin - Giles Pettit (who was a last minute replacement and performed brilliantly)
Director and Conductor - Andrew Nicklin Associate Director - Jean Gemmil.
I hope I've got everyone right, and not forgotten anyone.
