Darlington Civic Theatre
Tuesday 15th to
Saturday
19th September 2015
The
National Gilbert & Sullivan Opera Company brings three classic Savoy Operas
to Darlington Civic Theatre from Tuesday 15 to Saturday 19 September.
The
National Gilbert and Sullivan Opera Company has embarked on its first major
national tour with three brand new productions from Britain’s most famous theatrical
partnership. It is the most ambitious professional light opera company tour
since the late 1970’s and features three of the best known Gilbert and Sullivan
works – The Mikado, The Gondoliers and HMS Pinafore.
Audiences
will enjoy the wit and magic of Gilbert and Sullivan performed by many of the
country’s leading exponents of the world famous Savoy operas – artistes
renowned for their work in these quintessentially British masterpieces.
This
year’s programme is directed by John Savournin, recently described as one of
the finest G&S actor/directors of the present day. He has assembled an
outstanding cast of G&S specialists which includes the experience of Richard
Gauntlett, Bruce Graham, Oliver White, and Sylvia Clarke, working alongside the
stars of tomorrow including Claire Lees, Amy J Payne, Elinor Moran, Robin
Bailey and Kevin Greenlaw. The thirty five strong cast will be supported by the
highly acclaimed National Festival Orchestra and the company’s resident
conductor, David Steadman.
Ian
Smith, Chairman and founder of the National Gilbert and Sullivan Opera Company
is proud and excited of its achievements and growing reputation. “What we offer
our audiences are the best Gilbert & Sullivan productions they will see;
they are faithful to the original foundations laid down by Gilbert himself;
high quality acting and singing; young, enthusiastic and talented chorus;
colourful costumes and sets and a fantastic orchestra. And the great thing is
these are not just our words but the endorsement of national and regional
press, theatre managers and, equally important, theatre goers.”
