Review from the Bangor Festival of Light Opera

Fortwilliam Musical Society’s sound could bring a prize for their entry of Bock’s Fiddler on the Roof, produced by Arthur Webb.

If, as some would claim, Fiddler is a one-man vehicle then Joe O’Connor’s big-voiced Tevye has the power to carry it. But there is more to the show than that with some fine back-up from Winnie Brigg’s Golde, Peter Kennedy as Motel and daughters Judith Watson and Joanne Thompson.

The group, importantly have strength in the minor parts that could auger well. Unfortunately, when I finally caught up with the show last weekend, one or two voices were not quite correct and that could count against them.

The other point is that at Bangor I have always rated their chances yet the group seem to freeze on the night. Maybe this year will be different.
