The baritone Christopher Purves has a throat infection and cannot sing in tonight’s Written on Skin.
Good trouper that he is, he will act the part while James Cleverton sings from the wings.

5 years ago Peter Coleman-Wright was ill and unable to sing Beckmesser. On that occasion he acted the role on stage and the part was sung from the wings by … Christopher Purves.
He sounded pretty croaky on Friday night…
And very well sung it was too
Does Norman mean “trouper”?
Where is the under study? Again, why is this happening?
