Hall Patrol: Mel Nicosia (centre left), here in chorus costume for Lucia, picks up Ayse Kinnaird (far left) and Sharon MacDonald, before showing wood with Rosemarie Ryan (centre right) and Gerald Hannon (far right).
... while in a more decorous corner, chorus members Sunny Cheung and Elizabeth McLeod practise their minuet, in preparation for the party scene in Don Giovanni.
Hold that diaphragm! Soprano Ren Kennedy, fully costumed and ready for the daunting role of Donna Elvira in Don Giovanni.
Lucia and her boys: Soprano Sinéad Sugrue with Kennon Saari (left), who played true love Edgardo to her Lucia, and with Michael Sugrue (right) who both plays her husband in real life and her short-lived husband Arturo in the opera.
