Thank you for this little gem. These were what I call the best years of the opera company. A true family atmosphere existed. Heather Begg shared the role of Carmen with Margreta Elkins, who was also not a natural Carmen. When they weren't singing Carmen in the Opera Theatre, they could be found over in the Concert Hall sharing the role of Amneris in Aida. Both operas were double and sometimes triple cast. Very special times.
