PERFORMANCE SCHEDULE FOR

MISS SARAH BRIGHTMAN

Miss Brightman was originally scheduled to appear in “Aspects of Love” only until 1 February 1992. However, due to popular demand and critical acclaim we are happy to announce that Miss Brightman has extended her contract and will now play the role of Rose Vibert until Friday 6 March 1992 (excluding Monday evenings and Wednesday matinees).

Regretfully, in order to honour her other commitments, entered into prior to extending her contract, Miss Brightman is unable to perform on Saturday 8 February.

At these performances, the role of Rose will once again be played by the excellent Clare Burt from whom Miss Brightman took over on Tuesday 10 December 1991. We are confident that you will enjoy Miss Burt’s performance, however, if you specifically want to see Miss Brightman in this role we would be happy to exchange your tickets for an alternative performance.

We appreciate that Miss Brightman’s absence may disappoint and for this we apologise. As a gesture, we should like to offer you a souvenir brochure of the production with our compliments.
