In 1990 Leonard Fenton narrated my puppet opera The Bet. He spoke – and at some points sang – the words by Elaine Feinstein for performances by the Norwich Puppet theatre at the Purcell Room and Almeida theatre in London, and at the Huddersfield contemporary music festival. A recorded version went on an extensive tour of schools. He struck just the right enthusiastic tone, and working with him was a great pleasure.
