PRODUCER

JAMES MORGAN.

James Morgan’s first real venture into show business began in the early days of the Hastings Musical Comedy Co., and since then he has worked with every theatre group in Hastings, and with the Napier Repertory Society. His first production was the American drama “Tea and Sympathy” for Hastings Group Theatre. There were demands throughout its performance for the season to be extended and extended again. Another of his productions included the adaption of “Daniel in the Lion’s Den” into a musical play for the Hastings Wesley Youth Group, and also producing a prize winning play in the British Drama League competition before going overseas nearly three years ago. After Valley of Song ends its season he will be producing a Tennesse [Tennessee] Williams play for the drama festival. For his long hours of work and his untiring efforts in this production we express our grateful thanks.

Foreword

VALLEY OF SONG.

(By Ivor Novello.)

Little has been written about this operetta, mainly because Novello had not completed it before he died. It was not until 1963 that Lyricist Christopher Hassall, and Composer Ronald Hanmer, finished the work, which included new arrangements, and additional songs, two of these being “Look in my heart” and “What is it now?”

“Valley of Song” was first presented in Blackpool in 1963, and then played in London where “The Daily Express” acclaimed it as one of the brightest shows of the year.

It seems apparent that Ivor Novello was writing this show around his hit tune of the First World War, “Keep the Home Fires Burning”. He had composed it as a young man and the world wide recognition he received for it seems to have inspired “Valley of Song.” This song is included and is sung by the men’s chorus at the beginning of Act III.

This will be the sixth production that the Hastings Light Opera Company have staged, the previous productions being Gilbert and Sullivan operettas. The success that the company has enjoyed with previous shows has encouraged them to embark on a more ambitious work. In keeping with the Company’s aim of performing bigger and more substantial Light Operas “Valley of Song” was chosen as being most suited to the resources of the Company, and one which, we feel, will be favourably received by the Theatre going public.

It is with great pleasure that we bring our 1966 production to you, and we thank you for the support you have given to us in the past.

MUSICAL DIRECTOR

CECIL FITZWATER.

Napier born Cecil Fitzwater gained his letters for music while in his early twenties. He had mastered the violin, could play the piano, and was a solo cornetist in brass bands. He has been choirmaster and band conductor in Wellington, Auckland, and Hawke’s Bay, and has also been Musical Director for the Napier Frivolity Minstrels for the past four years.

In the capacity of Musical Director for “Valley of Song” he has been called upon to assemble and train the orchestra, as well as rehearse the principal singers and chorus, and his wide experience has enabled him to bring a high standard to this production. We know he has enjoyed the work involved even if there were times when he was tempted to put his baton to an unusual use.

The Story

ACT I. – The Entrance Hall, Brewster Towers.   Evening, Summer, 1913

The Cromidris choir has gathered at the home of Mrs. Nan Brewster, a wealthy widow, owner of a chain of stores. Mrs. Brewster is giving a party to celebrate the 25th Anniversary of the founding of Brewster’s stores, and as patron of the choir, has invited them to the party, where she intends making a special announcement. A reporter from the local newspaper “The Swansea Argus” is also attending, and gains much useful information for an article he is writing on Brewster’s Stores.

Lily Morgan, star soprano of the choir, and David Evans the conductor are joined by the choir in singing one of the songs that David has composed for Lily, “I Know a Valley” and the company chide David for his modesty, when he attempts to belittle his own efforts.

Gwillim [Gwilim], Mrs. Brewster’s handy-man and factotum sings “What is it now?”, in which he says “Worrying about things never does anyone any good.” Olwen Jones, Mrs. Brewster’s housekeeper and friend joins Gwilim in a nostalgic duet “Those were the days” in which they recall the wonderful bygone days when the choir was in its heyday.

Gwilim compares the recreations of other countries with that of Wales, and the choir agree that, as Welshmen seem to confine their receational[recreational] activities mainly to singing, they may very well come out best in the long run.

Mrs. Brewster makes the surprise announcement that she intends to retire from business and go abroad. She will appoint Hugh Griffiths her local branch manager to take up the position of General Manager of Brewster’s Stores. She has decided to go to Venice “The most beautiful City in the World” and wishes to take her entire household staff including Lily with her.

Lily is overjoyed at hearing the news, and as she has always dreamed of spreading her wings and travelling to distant lands, to her, the very name of Venice has magic in it.

David is dismayed at Lily’s desire to leave the Valley, as he is in love with her, and wishes to marry her, but his tender appeal to her to remain at home fails to dissuade her. The act closes with the choir singing a happy farewell to Mrs. Brewster and her staff.

ACT II. – Scene I. The Palazzo Felice, Venice.   Morning – Spring, 1914.

The scene opens in Venice with a colourful parade of the Italian Carabinieri in which everyone joins. Maria, an Italian servant girl, is very taken with Gwilim, but complains to Nan Brewster and Olwen Jones, that he is not as affectionate as she would like, and these three, in the song “Where do we go from there” join the girl’s chorus in discussing the shortcomings of men in general.

Lily in her aria “Look in my heart” sings of the happiness she has found since coming to Venice. She has had a wonderful chance of furthering her singing career by obtaining a leading part in a big musical production in Venice, and has also met and been courted by a dashing Italian Count Ricardo Favero. Lily confides that it all seems so perfect, she is afraid that it seems too good to last, but is reassured by the others when they combine to sing a repeat of “Look in my heart”.

SCENE II – The Same Night.

It is evening in Venice on a warm starry night. The population is in a gay carnival mood, and Ricardo and chorus sing a romantic song about “Lanternlight and Gondolas,” and all sing and dance in the street.

During this time the big musical show has had its opening night and in the leading role Lily has been an outstanding success. She is escorted triumphantly on to the scene by Ricardo, and then invites the revellers to a grand masquerade ball later in the evening. During the ball, David, who has made a surprise trip from the Valley in Wales dances with Lily and then taking off his mask reveals himself, Lily is surprised and delighted to see David, but he having seen her with Ricardo and heard of her success is much disillusioned and inclined to be bitter. In a duet with Nan, consoles himself by saying, that although he has lost Lily he still has the songs he wrote for her.

The guests who by this time have refreshed themselves with champagne and supper, in the Palazzo, arrive on the scene and ask Lily to sing her song “Rainbow in the Fountain” again for them. She consents and all join in the chorus.

Nan Brewster as Lily’s friend and confidante has many misgivings about the dashing and flamboyant Count Ricardo that Lily has fallen in love with, and as Lily is about to become engaged, feels that she should make some discreet enquiries. In response to these enquiries an Embassy Official, Gauthier, advises that Ricardo is nothing but an adventurer and a schemer, who makes his living by preying on wealthy and talented women. Ricardo has seen that Lily is about to become a star, and wishes to marry her in order to share in her future wealth and glory.

In a very tense scene Nan and David tax Ricardo with the truth, and Lily enters just as Ricardo admits that he was not in love with her, but was marying[marrying] her for his own personal gain. Poor Lily finds that the bottom has dropped out of her world, and although all concerned try to restore her spirits by asking her to sing again, she breaks down and rushes from the scene.

ACT III. – Scene I – The Morning Room, Brewster Towers.   Winter – 1914.

War has broken out, the German war machine is advancing throughout Europe. Nan Brewster together with Lily and the rest of the Household staff have returned to Wales. Brewster Towers has been turned into a Hospital and convalescent home to care for the wounded soldiers returning from the front line. Olwen standing by the window sings a sad farewell to the men of the Valley, who are marching away to the war. And as they march, they sing the song that was in everyone’s hearts, “Keep the Home Fires Burning” .

Maria who has returned from Venice with Mrs. Brewster. is growing a little tired of waiting for Gwilim to name the day when they will be married. Gwilim will not take the plunge until the war is over, and in a duet with Maria “The whole World Over’: asks her to be patient and that waiting can only fan the flame.

Soon after this, Gwilim, most unhappily tells Lily that David is missing in action and is presumed dead. He adds that Hugh Griffiths was with David at the time and Hugh saw David fall down just before he was hit himself. Lily and Nan are shocked at hearing the news but endeavour to retain a last ray of hope.

SCENE II – Christmas Eve.   Brewster Towers

The members of the sadly depleted choir visit Brewster Towers to sing Christmas carols and bring a little of the spirit of Christmas to the wounded men. After singing their carols, Olwen announces that a new batch of invalids have just arrived back from France. To the great joy of all David appears with them and although wounded is safe home again.

Since returning from Venice Lily had been thinking more and more of David and the news of his possible death at the war, had made her realise that it was really David that she loved.

All are happily re-united and the entire company join in singing the song David had written especially for Lily ‘I Know a Valley’.
