Not quite as memorable as some of its Gilbert and Sullivan counterparts, but just as enjoyable, the Lamplighters' production of "The Gondoliers" features a lush orchestra, strong vocals and a silly story of mistaken identities that serves as a satire of the class distinctions and royalty of Gilbert and Sullivan's time. The simple plot of the operetta/musical (sung in English) follows two gondoliers in Venice who are told by Don Alhambra del Bolero, an Inquisitor of Spain, that one of them is the king of the fictional land, Barataria. Marco and Giuseppe, both newlyweds, are even more surprised to learn that whomever happens to be the king was married in infancy to Casilda, the daughter of the Duke and Duchess of Plaza-Toro. The news takes them away from their wives, Tessa and Gianetta, to their kingdom, where they immediately begin implementing an all-are-equal structure matching their Republican, anti-monarchy values. Meanwhile, Casilda has her own secret hopes for romance, but not with either of the gondoliers.
