GILBERT AND SULLIVAN FOR SCHOOLS
Sir-Your correspondent C. A. McLaren has an excellent idea in suggesting that every school produce a Gilbert and Sullivan opera each year. There is @ preparatory school in Hamilton which has ptoduced a Gilbert and Sullivan opera annually since 1922. Boys take all ‘the parts, chorusés number about 25, ‘and each opera is performed in its
entirety. Ages of performers range from 7 to 14. The only outside assistance is ‘an orchestra; all costumes and scenery are made on the school grounds by .people closely connected with the school. The school has produced nine different operas and the standard of performance is very hich.
