Nearly everyone knows that “ Les Cloches de Corneville ” is a bright and colourful opera based on a romance of Breton peasant and fisherfollc, and that in itsell suggests endless possibilities of characterisation, beautiful settings, quaint costuming, pretty country dances and elaborate ballets. The cast includes many of the most popular stage artists in Christchurch, and the production promises to be of a uarticularly high standard. The season commences with to-morrow’s matinee and evening performance, and will continue until the following Saturday.
