IOLANTHE

Don’t miss a cast of some of the brightest stars of the stage and screen along with the 120–member MasterVoices chorus and orchestra in this one-night only concert staging of Gilbert and Sullivan’s 1882 satiric comic opera, directed and conducted by Ted Sperling.

IOLANTHE is a battle of the sexes pitting members of Britain’s House of Lords against the Fairy Queen and her kin, yet its themes are supremely relatable today; it tells of how a minority of landed gentry make rules that dominate the majority, how boorish masculinity disrupts and dominates a tranquil civilization of women, and how all that may still lead to surprising results.
