Britain's What's On Event Guide
The Gondoliers by Gilbert and Sullivan Outdoor theatre with Illyria
Enjoy an evening of laughter, music, and pure entertainment. ?Set in picturesque Venice, this lighthearted operetta whisks audiences away to a world of romance, mistaken identities, and comedic chaos. The story revolves around two charming gondoliers, Marco and Giuseppe, who suddenly find themselves elevated to the status of royalty. Tasked with choosing their queen from a bevy of beautiful women, hilarity ensues as the true identity of the rightful queen becomes entangled.
With catchy melodies and witty lyrics, Illyria brings the vivacious characters to life, captivating audiences with their impeccable comedic timing and exuberant performances. As the plot thickens and the absurdity reaches its peak, love triumphs, and the gondoliers discover that happiness lies not in noble titles but in the simplicity of true love.
Outdoor musical theatre in a spectacular setting. Bring a picnic and something to sit on - low backed chairs or blankets.
