THE larger-than-life view of New York’s underworld originally dreamed up by Damon Runyon is being recreated in Clitheroe starting on Saturday. Members of the Clitheroe Parish


Church Amateur Operatic Society have ' been busy in rehearsals for “Guys and ' Dolls” the comedy musical based on a Runyon short story in 1950.' ’ . Five years later the show became a suc­


cessful film of the 50s starring Marlon Brando, Frank Sinatra and Jean Sim­


mons. In the Clitheroe show, directed by Alan


P u c c in is classic played in a m o d e rn se tting


THE one thing everyone knows about Puccini’s “Tosca” is that she throws herself off the battle­ ments at the end and everyone knows someone who has seen a production when the dying diva has bounced back into view! Well,in Christopher Alden’s


intriguing production with design­ er Charles Edwards for Opera North there are no battlements as the action is set in a modern, seed­ ier and cynical era which gives a new interpretation to the tragic events and a telling relevance. The church is a dingy hall, the Sac­ ristan is a lottery ticket seller, sit­ ting in a booth, chain smoking and watching television and the Te Deum at the end of Act One is sung to the winning number. Susannah Glanville makes a


dramatic and glamorous Tosca and sings the role with passion. She is well supported by Ian

When it comes to wine an adventurous choice will do you the world of good!


WHEN it comes to food and wine matching, and make no bones about it, there are some wines which enhance the flavour of food - or is it vice- versa? There are some guide lines,


but it is a case of “whatever works for youl” Be open minded and experiment


.Here are some guide lines to •


look for. Look at the key food flavours, of which there are six, and try to avoid wines which clash. Some foods are salty. Inherently, salty foods like anchovies, oysters and shellfish work best with a crisp, dry white wine like muscadet or Chablis or a manzanilla sherry, which in itself has a slightly salty tang. Adding salt to food (not too much) can make an oaky red wine seem less tannic. Next comes the sour or sharp


flavours from marinades, like lime or lemon. Difficult to match, but try balancing the natural acidity with the wines acidity such as a sauvignon blanc from New Zealand, a ries- ling from Germany or a light Italian red like valpolicella. Savoury style flavours, such as


concentrated meat reductions as a sauce or mushrooms, smoked

A RENOWNED pianist based in the North West is the brains behind a two-week festival at the Bridgewater Hall, Manchester, next month which will bring together some of the world's top


formers arrayed for music lovers are Grigory Sokolov and Kryst- ian Zimerman. The festival is designed to cele­


brate the amazing influence the piano has had on the world of music. When she launched the festi­


val, Kathryn, who lives in Bamoldswick, said: "I'm delight­ ed to present a whole host of wonderful pianists from around the world, performing classical, jazz and tango. Versatility and variety are the key words in this unique festival ranging from solo recitals, chamber and orchestral concerts to poetry, piano-art and even our 'magical' piano." During the festival, which runs


from March 14th to 30th, the piano will be shown as a solo, orchestral, ensemble and accom­ panying instrument.


meats or hard cheeses, like Parmesan, love medium to full- bodied red wines, never whites. Whereas spicy foods with


chillies, Chinese five spice or Thai flavours work well with aromatic white wines such as gewurstraminer or tokay pinot gris from Alsace. Oaked white wines are only thought of as over-oaked as the astringency of the oak is brought to the fore in this combination. The wine must have plenty of ripe flavours. For smokey foods you need


through with the wine. But some smoked meats can work well with a powerful zinfandel. Last of the key flavours is


sweetness. This can make a wine seem drier than it is, so wines should always be sweeter than the dessert it is accompanying. A dessert based on summer fruits goes well with botrytis affected semilion or sauternes. While roquefort cheese is astounding with a monbazillac wine. The old adage of red wine with


cheese is not always a safe bet. Try goat’s cheese with sauvignon blanc or the roquefort and see what I mean. If it has to be Stil­ ton and port then use a tawny port not a vintage, because the subtleties in each are masked by the weight and depth, of the other, but a tawny port shines through. Above all be adventurous and


something to cope with the strong flavours. An ideal combi­ nation is smoked salmon with an oaked chardonnay. Both have an element of the oak taste and the oiliness in the salmon is cut


experiment. Do not be restricted to “red wines with meat, white with fish” instead substitute light wines with light food and more robust wines with stronger flavours and then you can have a strong flavour white wine with meat or a light red wine with fish, poached salmon and Beau- jolais springs to mind.
