MR LEECH’S LYRIC CHOIR
To-morrow evening, at His Majesty’sTheatre, Mr Leech’s Lyric Choir will present Fielding’s ‘ Tom Jones ’ in opera I'prjn (by Edward German). Edward German’s music remains charming throughout, and is capable of evolving enough new and contrasting matter to sustain interest to the end. The choir strength will be over 100 voices, and ample scope will be found in the stirring, sparkling, and animated choruses which adorn the opera. The ‘principals will be Mr Lawrence A. North, who will sing the name part of 1 Tom Jones • ; the part of Sophia has been entrusted to the true soprano of' Miss Valda M’Curdy; Miss Stuart Mitchell will sing the exacting part of Lady Belastonj and Miss Doris M‘Curdy as Honour, Mr W. G. Hilliker as Weston, and Mr Les Stubbs will complete a cast in which individuality should be the keynote. A full concert orchestra will support the production, and Mr John T. Leech will conduct. The box plan arrangements are advertised.
