State Library of New South Wales collection
Note: Wagnerian soprano Marjorie Lawrence alternated the roles of Brunnhilde and Sieglinde with Kirsten Flagstad at the Metropolitan Opera from 1936-1941. Flagstad was the most celebrated Wagnerian soprano but Lawrence's young and passionate voice was greatly admired. On 1st January 1936, Lawrence astounded the crew and audience by actually riding the warhorse into the "flames" at the climax of Gotterdammerung, the final opera in Wagner's cycle, despite instruction she was not to do so. Wagner had intended this stage business but Lawrence was probably the first to attempt it, as she had ridden since childhood in the Australian bush. Coincidentally, this performance was recorded and is the only complete recording of Gotterdammerung with Lauritz Melchior, the most famous Siegfried ever.
In 1941 Lawrence contracted polio ending her first career. Her second career was achieved through seated concert performances or a few roles like Princess Amneris in Aida where it was feasible to remain seated. The many recordings left of her show she was one of the great Wagnerian singers.

The Beatles emerging from the Ritz Cinema, Fisherwick Place, Belfast following their concert. Can't spot Ringo Starr, so perhaps he was still inside. They had played the Adelphi Cinema in Dublin the day before.
The Irish Times, Friday, 8 November 1963, reported this brief political exchange in Belfast the day before the concert, under the headline Should Beatles be shaved or shot?
"The Beatles got short shrift from the Minister of Home Affairs, Mr. William Craig, in the Northern Ireland Commons yesterday. He was asked by Mr. Patrick Gormley (Nat.), whether he had considered mobilisation of sections of the B Specials for the visit of the group to Belfast. He replied curtly: "No, Sir."
Mr. Gormley then asked the Minister if he was aware that the visit was an occasion for non-squares and in view of the fact that there was such a high proportion of non-squares in the B Specials, was he not missing a "golden opportunity."
Mr. Harry Diamond (Rep. Lab.), said the kindly people of Belfast would prefer shaving them to shooting them. ... Mr. Edward Richardson (Nat.), asked would the Minister not consider an all-Ireland tax on Beatle hair cuts. There was no reply."
Date: Friday, 8 November 1963
