We’re delighted Charles Court Opera are returning with their enchanting production of Gilbert & Sullivan’s sharp satire of power, privilege and parliamentary democracy.
The production is directed by Artistic Director, and renowned operetta specialist, John Savournin, whose recent productions include CCO’s recent five-star production of Patience, and The Merry Widow and Trial by Jury for Scottish Opera, Opera Holland Park and D’Oyly Carte.
This witty and magical operetta tells a tale of forbidden love causing an absurdist fusion of two worlds – the magical fairies of Fairyland and a bamboozled House of Peers. Featuring some of Sullivan’s most glorious music, including ‘Oh foolish fay’, ‘If you go in, you’re sure to win’ and what is popularly known as ‘The Nightmare Song’, we can expect an evening of first-class entertainment and riotous, fun suitable for all ages.
With a cast including familiar favourites to CCO audiences, this beautiful production is not to be missed.
