On this tour, Schicchi was given the unusual role of starting the evening rather than ending it. The melodrama of Il tabarro after the interval was therefore given a higher profile. It was less familiar, and the reviewers gave it more space than this comedy which was already a popular favourite. Cast information from reviews, here the Herald, is therefore limited.
