Dolly Levi

Carol Sutherland

 

I have been a member of Falkirk Operatic for many years. I have also done shows with Boness Operatic Society and Forth Dimensions in South Queensferry. Ive been priviledged to play lots of roles along the way - favourites include Miss Hannigan and Ado Annie, Connie in Made In Dagenham. The highlight though has to be playing Dolly Levi. We are so lucky to have a fabulous cast as always and as President i am very proud of them all. I hope you all enjoy our show.
