We had a big treat for members in September – an evening with Dame Anne Evans, who lives locally but is famed internationally as an operatic soprano. Retired now, the roles for which she’s most well known are that of Brünnhilde, a Wagnerian Valkyrie, and Isolde in Tristan and Isolde. To learn more about her, see here
She and her husband gave an interesting history of her life and career from her childhood in Islington to travelling the world and we were treated to some film of her performances.
We welcomed guests from several other parts of the WI who all seemed to enjoy the evening.
