An amateur group needs to have great confidence in its abilities before taking on such a demanding work as Norma. This cast paired the leading soprano from previous year's Aïda with the tenor who had sung the inordinately difficult lead in Sicilian Vespers.
The popular work this year was The Bartered Bride, shared by two new conductors, both borrowed from Sadler's Wells - Leo Quayle and young Alexander Gibson. The talent scouts had also recruited a new Chorus Master in Bryden Thomson.
