Southsea to come alive to the sounds of Gilbert & Sullivan
The National Gilbert & Sullivan Opera Company sails into Portsmouth with two sparkling new productions of the much-loved HMS Pinafore and The Mikado at the beginning of a nine week tour around the UK in September.
From Harrogate to Hastings, the National Gilbert & Sullivan Opera Company ensure that audiences leave the theatre with a smile on their face and skip in their step, such is the enchantment of these magical timeless masterpieces.
The productions are directed by John Savournin, recently described as one of the “finest G&S actor/directors of the present day” (Daily Express) and he has assembled an outstanding cast of G&S specialists including the hilarious ‘patter man’ Richard Gauntlett working alongside a cast of well-know G&S personalities including Bruce Graham, Oliver White, and Sylvia Clarke.
The thirty five strong Company will be supported throughout the tour by the critically acclaimed National Festival Orchestra and the company’s resident conductor, David Steadman.
The National Gilbert & Sullivan Company is the UK’s leading professional company dedicated to performing the works of Gilbert & Sullivan. The Company started life in 1994 as the resident opera company at the annual International Gilbert & Sullivan Festival in Buxton Opera House and went on tour for the first time in 2014 to high acclaim and outstanding press reviews.
This is a wonderful opportunity to see two outstanding productions performed by the very best but they will only be in Southsea for two days. Make sure you catch them!
