This recording was made during dress rehearsals and performances of a production by the Edinburgh G&S Society in the 1980s. For a variety of reasons, a planned commercial release never came to pass, until its issue in 1999 on Chris Webster's Sounds on CD label, coupled with a studio recording of The Contrabandista that was made at about the same time.

Most of the reviews that I have received of the CD make reference to both operas, so I have put these on a separate page.
