Program Notes
In celebration of the centenary production of Ruddigore which premiered in London on January 22, 1887, VLOC has restored some of the music and lyrics of the original version which were frantically cut when the opera received less than favorable notices (Victorian sensibilities having been somewhat offended)! A portion of the original 'Basingstoke' finale which is included, has been scored for the orchestra by our own Andrew Margrave who plays Sir Roderic in this production.
