Sir, - I heartily endorse the comments made by Michael Dervan (May 25th) about Dublin mezzo Alison Browner who was one of the participants in "A Night At The Opera" at the NCH recently.

Ms Browner showed a keen musical intelligence that illuminated every bar of music she sang while her poise, assurance and rocksteady tone was a joy throughout. Let us hope that some enterprising management will invite her back for a full-scale solo recital in her native city. It is shameful the way our promoters continue to neglect an artist whom we should treasure for all time. - Yours, etc., Michael J Cassidy,
