No rest for soprano
Love of singing has allowed the visiting soprano, Elizabeth Harwood, to turn a few weeks of promised rest in New Zealand into a working holiday. Because she is still suffering the effects of a slipped disc, she had planned to take it easy while accompanying her husband, Mr Julian Royale, on a business trip. He has enticed her to New Zealand for the first time with his reports of his former trips. Mr Royale has fine art and greeting card business connections in Wellington. Friends have, persuaded the soprano to do several
performances and recordings since the couple arrived in New Zealand late last month. Yesterday, she made recordings with Radio New Zealand in Christchurch and in the evening performed with the Opera Society. Today she will rehearse for tomorrow evening’s performance of the "Messiah” at the Christchurch Town Hall. “It is not much of a holiday, but I don’t mind a bit. It is rather lovely to come to a country for the first time and sing — you meet such wonderful people,” Miss Harwood said. The couple will leave New Zealand on December 16.
