OPERA star Oliver White climbed The Mound in Oxford to perform a dawn chorus for the city’s commuters.

Mr White is starring as Colonel Fairfax in Gilbert and Sullivan’s Yeomen of the Guard this week in the grounds of Oxford Castle in New Road.

Mr White is a member of the Gilbert and Sullivan Opera Company, and it is the first time an opera has been performed at Oxford Castle.

Performances of the opera, which was first performed in 1928, started on Monday and will run until Sunday.
