Iolanthe outdoor (undercover) Gilbert & Sullivan production by Illyria at Chepstow Castle
Gilbert & Sullivan's most magical comic opera is set half in Fairyland, half in Westminster! Its surprisingly topical satire pokes fun at Love, Class and Politics - an on how people from different backgrounds form uneasy coalitions.. Many believe its sumptuous harmonies to be the most beautiful Sullivan wrote. It gets the complete Illyria treatment, faithfully performed by a reduced cast with live piano accompaniment.
