For once Cav & Pag was served up as Pag & Cav. In most theatrical performances Pagliacci makes a stronger effect for ending the evening, but on this occasion, it was Cavalleria that came off better, so perhaps the decision was a wise one. The most effective performance came from Susan McNaught as Nedda, usually a difficult role to bring off. Support from the others was perfectly acceptable, but it was Cav that seemed to have caught the company's imagination.
