Performance note: In the production of the opera 'The Fairy Queen' by the Purcell Opera Society and Cambridge Amateur Dramatic Society, the dancers appeared in each of the five acts; only their names (not those of the singers) are listed here. The Rambert school is not named in the programme. This performance is the world premiere of the choreography, not of the opera.
