SUMMARY:The Mikado
DESCRIPTION:Gilbert and Sullivan’s “THE MIKADO (or The Town of Titipu)” has become one of the most-performed pieces of musical theatre in history. As with many of their productions\, the show which premiered at the Savoy Theatre in 1885\, satirises aspects of Victorian Britain’s politics and aristocracy; cloaked behind a charming story set not in Britain\, but in exotic Japan. \nWhat goes around comes around in politics of course\, and many of the themes seem familiar and just as relevant today as when The Mikado was first performed! Familiar characters include Nanki Poo\, Yum Yum\, The Lord High Executioner Ko Ko\, Katisha\, and of course the emperor Mikado himself. \nIn typical G&S style\, a tangled web is woven and unravels\, and everyone lives happily ever after. Witty comedy\, memorable tunes\, a little romance\, and endearing characters\, along with some light-hearted contemporary references\, make this satirical piece of musical theatre a popular favourite to this day.

SUMMARY:The Mikado
DESCRIPTION:Gilbert and Sullivan’s “THE MIKADO (or The Town of Titipu)” has become one of the most-performed pieces of musical theatre in history. As with many of their productions\, the show which premiered at the Savoy Theatre in 1885\, satirises aspects of Victorian Britain’s politics and aristocracy; cloaked behind a charming story set not in Britain\, but in exotic Japan. \nWhat goes around comes around in politics of course\, and many of the themes seem familiar and just as relevant today as when The Mikado was first performed! Familiar characters include Nanki Poo\, Yum Yum\, The Lord High Executioner Ko Ko\, Katisha\, and of course the emperor Mikado himself. \nIn typical G&S style\, a tangled web is woven and unravels\, and everyone lives happily ever after. Witty comedy\, memorable tunes\, a little romance\, and endearing characters\, along with some light-hearted contemporary references\, make this satirical piece of musical theatre a popular favourite to this day.

SUMMARY:Iolanthe
DESCRIPTION:The South Australian Light Opera Society’s next production is Gilbert and Sullivan’s Iolanthe\, directed by Maria Davis. One of the lesser known of the Savoy Operas\, Iolanthe sees Gilbert taking aim at the political arena of the time\, and being especially cruel to the House of Lords who he portrays as ineffective and unintelligent. \nIolanthe (Dione Baker) has been banished from fairyland for marrying a mortal. Her son\, Strephon (Aled Proeve)\, wants to marry Phyllis (Danielle Ruggiero-Prior)\, a ward of Chancery\, but all of the peers have the same aim.  The Lord Chancellor (Damon Hill) is her guardian\, but is unwilling to make a choice\, and Phyllis rejects all the peers.  The peers\, led by Tolloller (Benjamin Fleming) and Mountararat (Graham Loveday)\, with Phyllis\, see Strephon embracing his mother (fairies remain excessively young) and accuses him of infidelity. \nA host of fairies\, including Rebecca Kmit (the Queen)\, Rhiannon Curtis (Celia)\, Alex Fowler (Leila) and Rachel Lee (Fleta) begin to fall in love with the peers\, while Private Willis (Jason Clark)\, on guard at the Palace of Westminster\, reflects on political life before falling for the Queen of the fairies.  A chorus of fairies\, dryads\, brownies\, pixies\, mushrooms and peers complete a stunning cast. \nLike all of the Savoy Operas\, Iolanthe is full of the delightful music of Sullivan and the biting wit of Gilbert. You will be enchanted by Tripping hither (Chorus of Fairies)\, None shall Part us (Phyllis and Strephon)\, When I went to the bar (Lord Chancellor)\, When all night long a chap remains (Willis) and When Britain really ruled the waves (Mountararat)\, all backed by a talented orchestra under the baton of Kate White\, with choreography by Deborah Proeve and colourful costumes of the era to complete a truly wonderful show. \nTickets – call Pam 8294 6582

SUMMARY:The Merry Widow
DESCRIPTION:Set in the Pontevedrian Embassy in Paris in 1880\, the show opens at a colourful ball hosted by the pompous middle-aged ambassador\, Baron Zeta (baritone\, David Roberts).  The fate of their country is in the hands of the widow Madame Glavari (soprano\, Kendall Geisler)\, a simple country girl who married a wealthy banker and\, on his death\, inherited his twenty millions.  If she marries a foreigner and takes her money out of the country then Pontevedro will be bankrupt.  From the beginning\, foreign diplomats\, St Brioche (Bob Daniel) and Cascada (Christian Pollnitz)\, lead a contingent of men vying for the hand of the widow. \nTo save the day the Baron calls on his attaché\, Count Danilo Danilovitch (baritone\, Toby Gajewski) to woo her.  However\, unbeknown to the Baron\, this handsome playboy is already in love with her\, but having previously been forbidden from marrying the lowly country girl\, he is less than enthusiastic.  Intrigues at the embassy between Baron Zeta’s wife\, Valencienne (soprano\, Kaila Barton)\, and the aristocratic Frenchman Count de Rosillon (tenor\, Anthony Little) complicate the situation further. \nThe Merry Widow abounds with delightful music\, from the ever-popular Merry Widow Waltz\, to the lively Women! Women! Women!\, the comic Driving in the Park and\, perhaps the best known of all\, Vilia\, making it one of the most loved operettas of all.  The Newry Studio of Irish Dance provide a delightful sextet of Grisettes (dancers from Maxim’s) to entertain guests. Add in a comic trio of aristocratic ladies (Carmine Clarke\, Margot Sage and Sandra Fameli)\, the baron’s downtrodden factotum\, Njegus (Sean Nugent)\, a talented orchestra under the baton of Helen Loveday\, choreography by Deborah Proeve and colourful costumes of the era to complete a truly wonderful show. \nThe Merry Widow is directed by Pam Tucker. \nBookings: phone  8294 6582

SUMMARY:My Fair Lady
DESCRIPTION:SA LIGHT OPERA brings you a return season of Lerner and Loewe’s award-winning story of a flower girl transformed into an elegant lady – widely considered one of the greatest musicals of all time. \nMY FAIR LADY tells the story of Eliza Doolittle\, a young Cockney flower seller\, and Henry Higgins\, a linguistics professor who is determined to transform her into his idea of a “proper lady”.
