Operatic group gave us a smashing show

I’M sure I speak on behalf of all my friends (although I haven’t actually quizzed them) when I say how much we all enjoyed Hello Dolly at Exeter Northcott, staged by the Exeter Amateur Operatic Society.It was a smashing production with good acting, great singing and dancing and a real feelgood factor. The cast must have been rehearsing for weeks, I suppose, but on the night it was worth it, they were so professional.

They were supported by a very competent backstage staff and a group of talented musicians — all in all a wonderful end to Budget Day.I can’t urge your readers to support them this year because the production will be over by the time you hopefully print this but a huge thank you to all the members of the amateur operatic society — we will see you next year!
