Set in Venice, and a balmy isle in the Mediterranean, The Gondoliers is the quintessential light opera of mixed up babies at birth. Set to the happiest music ever written by an Englishman, the cachucha, fandango, bolero: Sullivan was truly inspired to write such delicious Italian and Spanish melodies. Gilberts satire of Republicanism is still as fresh today as ever: When everyone is somebody, then no ones anybody.The gondoliers, Marco and Giuseppe, have just married their sweethearts, Gianetta and Tessa, who they won in a game of blind-mans-buff. On their wedding night, however, the Grand Inquisitor informs them that one of them is the rightful King of Barataria! Furthermore, he, whoever he is, was married in infancy to Casilda the daughter of the Duke and Duchess of Plaza-Toro who have just arrived in Venice to claim their daughters husband.Its time for joyful singing, merry tunes and live music in this G&S production promising lavish sets and gorgeous costumes.
