In the Boston area, I played and conducted G&S with the New England Gilbert and Sullivan Society - NEGASS. Once a bunch of us went to hear the Cape Cod Symphony conducted by Royston Nash, THE conductor of the D'Oylye Carte Opera Company who did all the definitive performances of G&S in England.

It was the one show I had conducted at that point so I answered yes. He replied, "Then you've done the best of them."
