On the heels of our recent tribute to Patricia Hamilton, the actress who played Rachel Lynde in both Anne of Green Gables and Road to Avonlea, we’d thought we’d update you on her recent theatrical work alongside some of Canada’s most familiar female faces.

This production still captures the scene when Anne and the students from Kingsport Ladies College enjoy a carriage ride through the streets surrounding Mrs. Harris’ grand estate in Anne of Green Gables: The Sequel.  This scene was actually filmed in the streets of Toronto and the location was picked for its markedly Edwardian ambiance.

“Opera is rarely seen on film, simply because it so often gets lost in translation, but Sullivan was intentional in his determination to bring the sensation of the stage to the screen.” – Mozart’s The Magic Flute Dairies – Official Movie Companion

Just as Anne Shirley’s words form some of the most memorable quotes, so too does the musical score of Anne of Green Gables form an emotional memory for the film’s viewers.  You can hear the first few bars of Anne’s theme music, written by composer Hagood Hardy, and be instantly transported back to the first time you saw Anne walking through the woods on her way to Hammond’s Mill.  As part of ‘music week’ at Sullivan Entertainment, here’s a look at the history of the man who created these lasting notes.

You can love God and love a girl at the same time, Hubert.  You just can’t be a priest while you’re doing it. – Father Fitzroy, A Wind at my Back Christmas

Deciding to study at the seminary at the University of Toronto would have been a hard decision for any young man to face.  But when Hub Bailey meets Anna Schiller, an Austrian music student who faces the threat of deportation at the onslaught of World War II, his world is dramatically changed.
