Lesser Free Trade Hall, Northern School Of Music (NSM)
1956

A lavish production of a lavish opera, the Northern School of Music have pulled out all the stops for Mozart's The Magic Flute, 1956.

It's absolutely delightful to be able to see the orchestra at the same time as the singers, usually they're lurking underneath the stage in the bigger concerts. Although I imagine there were fewer orchestra pit shenanigans because of it.
