The Gondoliers

"Down at heel Duke & Duchess of Plaza-Toro come to Venice in search of the heir to the throne of Barataria, inconveniently mislaid at birth, but betrothed to their daughter. The most likely candidates are two Gondoliers, republicans by nature, but far more interested in parties than politics and, what's more, just married! It takes the help of an old nursemaid to unravel the knots in this funny G&S favourite."

"Dance a Cachuca, Take a Pair of Sparkling Eyes, When a Merry Maiden Marries, are among the highlights of one of Sullivan's most melodic and romantic scores."
