Gilbert & Sullivan Opera Victoria is proudly presenting a special season of Gilbert and Sullivan's timeless romantic musical comedy The Gondoliers in three venues across Victoria this February. Tickets are now on sale.Set on the sparkling waters of the Grand Canal, The Gondoliers is a comic opera brimming with romance, young lovers and state secrets![BREAK]Marco and Giuseppe have just married their sweethearts, Gianetta and Tessa, who they won in a game of blind-man's-bu& #64256 ;!On their wedding night, however, the Grand Inquisitor informs them that one of them is the rightful King of Barataria.Furthermore, he, whoever he is, was married in infancy to Casilda - the daughter of the Duke and Duchess of Plaza-Toro - who has just arrived in Venice to claim their daughter's husband.
The Gondoliers is the quintessential light opera of babies mixed-up at birth, set to "the happiest music ever written by an Englishman". Cachucha, fandango, bolero, Sullivan was truly inspired to write such delicious Italian and Spanish melodies. Gilbert's satire of Republicanism is still as fresh today as ever. "When everyone is somebody then no one's anybody".This splendid new production, with lavish new sets and gorgeous costumes, is directed by Robert Ray and features an outstanding ensemble cast.
