Read more about the opera Maritana
J W Turner's company toured a number of venues that were outside the obvious big cities. Govan was not then part of Glasgow, and the venue new and building its audience.
The following month they were in Dundee, with a week-long programme that ran: Mon Maritana; Tue Daughter of the Regiment; Wed Maritana; Thu Puritan's Daughter; Fri Faust; Sat Bohemian Girl.
The cast is from a programme in the OperaScotland collection. It provides details for the first three Govan evenings - not just Maritana on the Monday, but also Tuesday's Daughter of the Regiment and Wednesday's Bo Girl.
