Talk:Richard Suart

Proms appearances
He also appeared in G&S roles at the Proms, certainly as the Lord Chancellor in Iolanthe, and probably in Gondoliers and Pinafore as well. I'll look it up later (prod if me if I don't) - it'll be so much easier when they finally put the archives online... David Underdown (talk) 14:45, 5 May 2009 (UTC)


 * I was aware of that he had appeared thrice at The Proms (not sure off-hand if those are the three roles), but I wasn't sure how to present these one-off concert appearances. I didn't want to make too big a deal of them because, after all, they were just one concert each.  By all means add the info when you have time.  Thanks!  -- Ssilvers (talk) 14:51, 5 May 2009 (UTC)


 * I'll probably just add an extra sentence along the lines of "Suart has also appeared in three semi-staged productions at The Proms, in Gondoliers (1997), Iolanthe (2001) and HMS Pinafore (2005)" (or whatever the correct years are) - and since it's just occurred to me that perhaps this is the reason that makes these worthy of note, "all three performances were broadcast live on BBC Radio 3 and recorded for later broadcast on BBC television". Actually Pinafore may not have been on telly, I'll double-check that too, the brodcasts may well also have been picked up by the World Service, but Pinafore at least was later broadcast by many of the European Broadcasting Union affiliates as part of Euroclassic Notturno the regular shared nightly broadcast across Europe, see http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio3/euroclassicnotturno/playlist060408.shtml


 * Sounds perfect! All the best, -- Ssilvers (talk) 15:10, 5 May 2009 (UTC)
