The great British contralto Anne Collins ( 1943-2009 ) captured here giving her last performance of a role she made her own . A tribute to a wonderful artist and a lovely lady.
The production was specially devised to re-open the stage of the historic Nomansfield Theatre. Directed and devised by Anthony Baker and produced in collaboration with Carl Rosa Opera in January 2007
Fabulous... I aspire to this performance BIG TIME!!!

Wonderful! I've wanted to see more of this since seeing a brief excerpt of it in Simon's G&S documentary. What a comedienne Anne was ! Much missed.

Lady Jane is my favorite G & S role and no one sings her like Ms. Collins. She sounds fabulous here. RIP

Let's not forget Gilbert had this peculiar mean streak toward middle-aged women. As the Pirate King said, "we (can) look over it" because all the other stuff is too good.
