'''Review:''' Raymond Chapman-Smith, “Mixed bag of opera bits has its lighter side”, ''Advertiser'', 7 Sept. 1987, p.19. “This was not your usual Intervarsity Choral concert. It had the expected, slightly desperate team spirit, but the format was very different, along the lines of Busby Berkely goes to the opera – on a shoestring … The choir, with many of its members so obviously unaccustomed to bopping, took on the appearance of a mass demonstration by Young Talent Time audition rejects. With the serious business over the performers devolved into a chaotic camaraderie. They’d had a good time, the audience had had a good time – as only kith and kin can. The choir heaped a frenzy of adoration on their worthy conductor and then we all tried to get out of Bonython Hall.”
