Event description

Never seen a Gilbert and Sullivan operetta? Loyal fan? You are in for a treat either way! There's a reason this famous duo's works are still performed more than 100 years after their era. Fantastic music which will have you humming for days, impeccably witty dialogue and lyrics, wonderful costumes and our talented singers make for a fun frolic through the foibles of Victorian England. Far from being dated, the banter is as relevant today as it was on London's Savoy stage 100 years ago. Last year's four shows sold out at both the Victoria and Sidney venues, so secure your tickets early. Musical direction by Peter Butterfield and stage direction by Heather Lee. This is a variation on the semi-staged version we did last season. There are 2 shows at Dave Dunnet Theatre (April 5 at 7:30 PM and April 6 at 2:00 PM ). Both are festival seating so arrive early. Parking available in Oak Bay High Parking lots, off Cadboro Bay Rd and off Cranmore. Drop off area at main doors on Cadboro Bay Rd. Street parking also available but check signs. Can't make those dates? There are also two shows at the Charlie White Theatre, Mary Winspear Centre, the following weekend. April 12 and April 13 both at 2:00 PM Phone: 250-656-0275. Email: info@marywinspear.ca. Box Office. Mon - Fri 9:30am - 5:00pm. Great gifts for the holiday season at an extremely affordable price.
