Canada’s largest city, Toronto, has the honour and distinction of being the birthplace of two of the 20th Century’s finest composer / conductor / arrangers in the world of Light Music. Ironically both of them achieved worldwide recognition and fame when they left their homeland and established their glittering careers in other countries.

The invention of sound recording as the 19th century came to a close, followed by the arrival of radio in the 1920s, hastened changes in musical styles at a far greater pace than had ever happened previously. There is no doubt that our ancestors who listened to what we might term ‘their’ light music in the 1800s would find the sounds of the 1960s too avant-garde for their ears.

Along with the transposition of key of some sections of the opera, this performance presents the alternative finale that was adopted at the time by the French prima donna, a rondò in waltz time taken from The Maid of Artois by the Irish composer Michael William Balfe. After that, Norina’s role was to be assigned, besides again to Viardot, to other contraltos among whom was Marietta Alboni in London in 1849
