One last check! Chorister Hassina Madwa gets her hat just so before heading up the long flight of stairs to the stage at Bickford Centre Theatre.
Below: Hats quite decidedly perfect, choristers Alexis Morrison (left) and Monika Zagorska-Zimolag are ready to pass inspection.
Bad girl/good girl: Brittany Stewart (left), out of costume and out of character (at least for La Traviata!), manages elegance in the company of fellow chorister, Sara DiGirolamo.
Flamenco! Dancers Claudio Grez and Patricia Estay brought a foot-stamping excitement to the party scene in Act 3 of La Traviata. Chorister Raymond Preston didn’t dance, but we like this picture anyway.

Party, party! Long-time supporter and party host Matina Chrones accepts flowers from TOR president Gerald Hannon. Diva Nightmare: Lynne Shuttleworth and Catherine Rooney turned up in the same dress. TOR secretary Barbara Thomson can hold her liquor!
