or The Witch's Curse An opera in two acts by w. S. GILBERT and ARTHUR SULLIVAN with the Ambrosian Opera Chorus and the London Symphony Orchestra conducted by Alexander Faris
Bound by an ancient curse to commit a crime every day, Sir Despard Murgatroyd is greatly relieved when he learns that shy
Robin Oakapple is the true Lord of Ruddigore - and rightful victim of the curse. Robin has just won the love of etiquette-obsessed Rose, so he is none too happy to learn of his fate. However his foster brother Dick, who also has his eyes on Rose, is delighted.
