Photograph of the company's rejoicing which closes Act III on Macheath's reprieve. The centre of attention is obscured by deep shadow, but identifiable second from left, and less pleased than most, is Mrs Peachum (Anna Pollak), Lucy (Heather Harper), Polly's (Janet Baker's) back view centre right foreground, Mrs Trapes (Edith Coates) in expansive jubilation second from right with Lockit (Bryan Drake), carried away with the rest. It seems just possible that this picture may represent a curtain call for the compser/ conductor, or producer.
