Welcome to the 1977 production of Iolanthe | |||||||
Synopsis
Iolanthe has always been a favourite and also something of a landmark for Gilbert & Sullivan lovers. As a landmark, the opera was commissioned by
D'Oyly Carte for the opening of his new theatre, The Savoy. The work offers the irresistible chorus combination of peers of the realm with Fairies from an Anderson Library; a patter song to end all patter songs (and all singers of patter songs); an infamous 'Joke' Trio; a plot with the intricacies of a 'Mikado' and moments as poignant as the close of 'Yeomen of the Guard'. The whole is, and we trust will be for you, infused with the vitality and sparkle of Gilbert & Sullivan at their harmonious best.
