This enchanting postcard, dating back to 1905, showcases a captivating scene from Les Cloches de Corneville, a popular comic opera production staged at the Theatre Royal in Bath by the St. Albans Comic Opera Company. The Theatre Royal, a renowned and historic venue, played host to various theatrical productions during the Edwardian era. In this image, a large group of men and women performers are seen gathered on the spacious stage, dressed in elaborate costumes, ready to bring the story of Les Cloches de Corneville to life. The production, based on a French farce, tells the humorous tale of a miller's daughter who is courted by two suitors, each disguised as a bell ringer. The cast members exude a sense of excitement and anticipation, their expressions revealing their readiness to entertain the audience. The women, adorned in elegant gowns and headdresses, stand in a semi-circle, while the men, dressed in traditional bell ringer attire, are positioned in the foreground. The stage is set with intricate details, including a mill and a bell tower, adding to the authenticity of the production.
