Double Bill: Gilbert and Sullivan's Trial by Jury and The Savoyards - Sydney

Fully staged comic opera with a full orchestra!

Trial by Jury Gilbert & Sullivan's second opera, Trial by Jury, serves up a cheeky one-act operetta that pokes fun at the British legal system like no courtroom ever has. When Angelina sues her ex-fiancé Edwin for ditching her at the altar, chaos ensues with eccentric judges, fickle jurors, and a trial that's more farce than fact. Expect witty tunes, sharp satire, and a verdict that'll have you chuckling all the way to "guilty of hilarity"!

The Savoyards; Not Another G&S is a clever pastiche that weaves together the beloved music and characters from ten of the fourteen classic Gilbert & Sullivan operas. Created by Dawn Pugh and Nicole Taylor, this fresh, extended one-act operetta, offers a playful homage infused with sharp satire and an irresistible new storyline. It explores the delightfully tangled secrets and eccentric desires of a troupe of thespians, lovingly capturing the spirit and mischief of the Savoy tradition.

Don't miss this double bill offering something old & something new...and lots of fun and delightful music!
