“Pink Champagne” was performed by the students of the Maitland Music Class. Prior to the 1955 flood a room above the Library had been allocated for evening classes equipped with the latest mod cons such as a “high fidelity radiogram, records, chairs, a coffee perculator and like essentials for a chatty and educational evening”.

 

Evening college classes were introduced by the Department of Education in 1945 and provided adults with an opportunity to gain a free education in “subjects which will occupy its ever-increasing leisure hours”.

 

“Pink Champagne” is an adaptation of Die Fledermaus by Johann Strauss from the Vienna production of 1874.
