The First Fifty Years: A summary of the activity of Truro Amateur Operatic & Dramatic Society is an important record of the earliest performances at City Hall post World War I and following it’s refurbishment, costing £12,000. The first performance at the hall was the comic opera Ruddygore and coincided with the re-opening in 1926 (changing from the County Theatre to become City Hall) , attended by Mayor Stratford.
