About this event
One throne, two brothers and endless laughs in Gilbert & Sullivan’s triumphant comic opera The Gondoliers.
The story…
Two handsome and charming gondoliers discover that one is the long-lost heir to the throne of Barataria – but which one? In the pursuit of the truth, a bewildering series of events threaten both their marriages and their claim to the throne.
The production…
The Gondoliers, Gilbert and Sullivan’s last great success, is a fizzing comedy of mistaken identity that marries joy and chaos with a sharp satire of monarchy and class.
The artists…
This new production, staged for the first time by ETO, is helmed by Liam Steel, who directed ETO’s Olivier Award-winning production of Paul Bunyan. Jack Ridley (Music Director, The Great Stink) conducts.
Age recommendation: 12+
Running time: Approximately 2 hours and 30 minutes including a 20 minute interval
