 to the real Gay, Juliet,
Affectíonately dedicated
Sophie, Tína, Hughie, Jonny and Sammy -
the Gathorne-Hardys of Great Glemham, Suffolk.

B. & H. 19573
This opera is the final section of the entertainment for young people called Let's Make
an Opera!The first section ofthis is in the form ofa play and illustrates the preparation
and rehearsal of an Opera. lt will be easily seen that professionals or very gifted
amateurs are needed to play the grown-up parts and also the part of Juliet (provided,
of course, that she can look convincingly youthful). It is essential that real children
should play the children's parts-the boys with unbroken voices who shouldn't be
scared of using their chest voices.
The accompaniment is for solo string quartet, piano-duet (four hands on one
piano) and percussion (one player can manage). A vocal score containing an
arrangement for piano-duet with or without percussion is available (the piano-duet in
this vocal score is not the same as the duet part mentioned above, although the
percussion part lìr the same). This reduced version can be used for actual performance
but the original full version should be used where possible. A rehearsal score with
reduction of the accompaniment for solo piano is also available. The string parts are
not very easy.
The songs Nos. I, IX, XIV and XVII are to be sung by the whole audience under
the direction of the conductor. They must, of course, be rehearsed beforehand.
Allowance is made for such rehearsal in Part One of l¿l's Mqke an Opera! t
If only The Líttle Sweep is to be performed, the conductor will have to take a
rehearsal with the audience and orchestra before the opera begins.
