In 1876, Power first appeared on stage at the Teatro Manoel in Malta, singing Count Almaviva in The Barber of Seville.
During the run of Pirates, Power took part in some Sunday matinée performances of new operettas along with Rutland Barrington, and on one occasion acted in a non-musical play, L'Aventurière, given in the original French by a cast headed by Herbert Beerbohm Tree [REF].
