| book description |

NOTHING LIKE WORK is a personal memoir of the author's time in the D'Oyly Carte Opera Company, first of all as repetiteur and then as chorus master and associate conductor. It covers the last seven years of the Company's existence from 1975 (its centenary year) until its closure in 1982. This period included a performance at Windsor Castle in 1977, a five-month tour of the United States and Canada in 1978, a four-month tour of Australia and New Zealand in 1979, and the Company's involvement in the making of the film CHARIOTS OF FIRE in 1980.
