SUMMARY:Opera Australia: Gilbert & Sullivan - A Musical Celebration
DESCRIPTION:Mischievous humour meets soaring melodies — a sparkling evening of operatic wit\, whimsy and unforgettable song. \nFrom not-so-fearsome pirates with a flair for melody\, to bewigged Lords of the House tangled in mischief\, to lovelorn tailors in an imagined\, topsy-turvy Japan. Take a seat\, suspend disbelief\, and prepare to laugh. \nFew composer-librettist teams have had the impact of Gilbert and Sullivan. Their mega-hits are still packing out theatres today and have become part of our pop culture lexicon (thanks\, The Simpsons!). \nTake a ride through their greatest musical moments in this concert directed by Gilbert & Sullivan aficionado Stuart Maunder AM. \nHear highlights from The Mikado\, The Pirates of Penzance\, H.M.S. Pinafore and Iolanthe performed by an all-star cast of operatic talents\, with Orchestra Victoria. Discover how these operettas changed the worlds of music\, theatre and satire forever. \n\nRunning time\n\nApproximately 2 hours and 20 minutes\, including one interval. \nRegent Theatre\, 191 Collins St\, Melbourne
