Duncan, who has appeared in all but two of the fourteen G+S Operas, has a particular interest in the lives and work of Gilbert and Sullivan and possesses a comprehensive library on the subject. He is therefore very pleased to be involved in this rare staging of an under performed Sullivan work.In the recent production of "The Rose Of Persia" Duncan particularly enjoyed the challenge of interpreting the role of the extravagantly eccentric but cunningly resourceful Hassan."
