Gilbert & Sullivan’s The Gondoliers

We are thrilled to
announce the return of our popular summer light opera productions with Gilbert
& Sullivan's hilarious The Gondoliers, July 23-26, 2026, in our newly rebuilt Dr. Mary T. Christian Theatre. Brothers Marco and Giuseppe
Palmieri, a pair of Venetian gondoliers, are told that one of them is heir to
the throne of the fictional kingdom of Barataria; until it can be discovered by
the Grand Inquisitor which of them is the heir, they must rule jointly.
Unbeknownst to the brothers, who have just married Venetian farm girls, the
heir was wed in infancy to the daughter of the Spanish Duke of Plaza-Toro, who
is herself in love with her father's servant. A subplot concerns the
impoverished Duke attempting to improve his finances by forming a limited
liability company.
