This performance was ‘amateur’ in the best sense of the word, involving skilled musicians giving the best they can without monetary reward. The orchestra come together to spend a long weekend working on one piece and then perform it with a group of singers who may be trying out a role or singing a part they particularly enjoy. The sense of enjoyment and involvement from the participants is palpable. Well worth putting a date in the diary for next year – Götterdämmerung is on Sunday 23rd September 2011 (starting earlier, at 10.30).
