Armidale may have only 25,000 residents, but its ability to stage fantastic cultural events is amazing. Back in early July, the Armidale Drama and Musical Society (ADMS) performed Boublil and SCconberg's Les Miserables. This musical is based on Victor Hugo's novel published in the mid 19th century and widely regartded as one of the greatest works of that century.
It was performed in a lovely theatre belonging to The Armidale School (TAS) perhaps 20 times over a month! And nearly all the participants were local, whether conductor, singers or orchestral. Even the settings on stage were arranged locally - and I might addd that those were amazingly well done. The applause at the end was lengthy and profound. Everyone, including us, were amazed at the quality of the presentation. And 'us' included not just Dot and myself, but also Emily and her k s - Ella and Flynn. They were truly amazed!
It's grgeat that our community is able to peform similar events to our major cities, whether theatrical, orchestral, or artistic.
