Lamplighters Theatre to Take IOLANTHE on Tour, 8/2-25
IOLANTHE, Gilbert & Sullivan's well-loved tale of fairies, half-fairies, and love-besottEd English noblemen, was written at the midpoint of Gilbert and Sullivan's collaboration, when both artists were at the peak of their creative powers.
Sullivan's captivating score, unmistakably influenced by both Mendelssohn and Wagner, contains some of his most accomplished and beautiful music. In the story of what happens when the entire British House of Lords comes into conflict with a band of fairies, Gilbert's witty and surprisingly relevant libretto skewers the privileges bestowed on a dim-witted, entitled ruling class and-of course-the eternal war of the sexes.PERFORMANCES:Lesher Center for the Arts, Walnut Creek
