At the Northern School of Music's awards ceremony, principal of the Royal Academy Sir Thomas Armstrong wonders why Manchester of all places doesn't have a city opera company. It could be paid for out of taxes like other public services.

Anyhoo, featured in the prizes and performances are: Veronica Milroy, Alicia Robinson, Judith Partington, Christopher Wood, Malcolm Shaw, Rayson Whalley, Judith Lowe, Mary Roberts, Irene Yates, Yvonne Swindells, Margaret Henshall, Derek Oldfield, Eileen O'Neill, Margaret Haylings, and Brenda Elder (of Corrie!)
