Supporting roles were taken by such fine British singers as the bass Matthew Rose, baritones Mark Stone, Matthew Best, Roderick Williams and Neal Davies, tenors Andrew Kennedy and Alasdair Elliott

This was a lavish cast, with two further Billies (Roderick Williams and Mark Stone) cast in the lesser roles of Novice's Friend and Bosun

The strength of the evening was the ensemble singing. The LSO had brought in some fabulous young stars: the golden-toned Mark Stone (Bosun)
