My Dear Hutton,
Many thanks for yours.
Delighted to have Dinner with you and Mrs Hutton at the Queen's next Friday.
Six o'clock will suit me first rate but let me know if any other time between 5 and 7 will be more convenient for you.
Have moved from 58 to here, 60.
Mr Bacon came to see me Tuesday and Wednesday in Southport and said he would come again - next Tuesday or Wednesday.
Yours very truly

Dear Hutton,
Thanks for yours: very sorry Mrs Hutton wont be able to turn up on Friday night : suppose, under the circumstances, we "cry off" as regards the Dinner and, instead, you come round to my Dressing Room after the 1st Act of Pirates and we'll have a jaw and a drink - you'll have 15 minutes interval. Let it stand at this old chap.
Yours very truly,
Fred. Billington
Mr Bacon is here - yesterday and today : he saw Mikado last night and will see Yeomen of the Guard tonight : he says Irving is up at Guir...(?) and occupying his, Mr B's, rooms at the Hotel there.

OPERA AUSTRALIA productions of GILBERT & SULLIVAN on DVD:
THE GONDOLIERS
Perhaps one of the most well-loved G & S operettas, The Gondoliers is packed full of tuneful songs and high spirited dancing. The Duke and Duchess of Plaza-Toro come to Venice in search of the heir to the throne of Barataria. The most likely candidates are two handsome Gondoliers but they are far more interested in parties than politics and what’s more, just married! It takes the help of the nursemaid to discover the truth. Opera Australia’s finest Savoyards unravel the story with a humorous touch and great vocal style. Filmed at Sydney Opera House.
David Hobson, Roger Lemke, Suzanne Johnson, Christine Douglas, Robert Gard, Graeme Ewer
The Australian Opera Chorus / The Elizabethan Philharmonic Orchestra / Dobbs Franks
Director/Choreographer: Brian MacDonald
Sung in English with English subtitles
Reviews
‘...a stylish and exhilarating Gondoliers…it also offers many opportunities for biting humour and the release of unbridled energy.’ The Australian
‘…costumes are dazzling; the choreography is exuberant; and every member of the cast gives the impression of enjoying their roles.’ The Sydney Morning Herald
H.M.S.PINAFORE and TRIAL BY JURY
While HMS Pinafore was Gilbert and Sullivan’s first full-length satirical work and first major international success, Trial by Jury was their first (infact second!) collaboration - the show's outrageous antics made it the toast of London.
In this filmed recording from the Arts Centre, Melbourne, Anthony Warlow, Australia’s musical theatre superstar, is at the helm as both the “right good captain” and the “good judge” too. He is joined by a stellar cast featuring David Hobson, John Bolton Wood and Colette Mann as "dear little Buttercup".
Anthony Warlow, David Hobson, Colette Mann, John Bolton Wood, Tiffany Speight, Ali McGregor, Roxane Hislop, Richard Alexander, Andrew Jones
Opera Australia Melbourne Chorus / Orchestra Victoria / Andrew Greene
Director: Stuart Maunder
Sung in English with English subtitles
Reviews
‘…delightfully playful with just the right balance of tongue-in-cheek humour.’ The Daily Telegraph
‘ …a luminous cast, impeccable orchestra and spirited direction…’ The Age
THE MIKADO
The Mikado is the comedy classic in which W. S. Gilbert's 'topsy-turvy' words meet with a supreme musical response from Sir Arthur Sullivan. This is the most widely-loved and, by general agreement, hilarious of the Savoy Operas, set in a wonderfully make-believe Japan. Filmed at Sydney Opera House in 1987.
Anne-Maree McDonald, Graeme Ewer, Heather Begg, Peter Cousens Gregory Yurisich
The Australian Opera Chorus / The Elizabethan Sydney Orchestra / Andrew Greene
Director: Christopher Renshaw
Sung in English with English subtitles
Reviews
‘Wit, ingenuity, and a veritable riot of colourful and restless spectacle continue to make The Australian Opera production of The Mikado an experience designed to seduce the eye, charm the ear, and tickle the rib...’ The Sydney Morning Herald
PATIENCE
Set in the early 20th century, the aesthetic poet Bunthorne sings his love for Patience, the village milkmaid. Meanwhile he has captured the heart of every other lady in the village. Upon the arrival of the idyllic poet Grosvenor, all hell breaks loose when he proposes to Patience. Filmed at Sydney Opera House.
Christine Douglas, Heather Begg, Anthony Warlow, Dennis Olsen
The Elizabethan Philharmonic Orchestra / David Stanhope
Director: John Cox
Sung in English with English subtitles
Reviews
‘...this production has assembled a cast that simply could not be bettered.’ The Sydney Morning Herald
‘…Warlow from the first moment of his appearance on stage radiates star quality.’ The Financial Review
THE PIRATES OF PENZANCE
John Bolton Wood, Anthony Warlow, David Hobson, Taryn Fiebig, Suzanne Johnston. Conductor : Andrew Green; Director Stuart Maunder.
