ABOUT THE SHOW
"THE GONDOLIERS" is the the twelfth of fourteen comic opera collaborations between Gilbert and Sullivan.
It is 1750s Venice, and the ladies in town are all a flutter over two heartthrob gondoliers who plan to choose their brides.
When Marco and Giuseppe propose to Gianetta and Tessa, the whole of Venice prepares to celebrate their wedding.
Unbeknownst to all of them, a ducal Spanish family has just floated into town.
Years ago, the bumbling Duke’s lovely daughter, Casilda, was married in infancy to the future King of Barataria.
But Don Alhambra, the Grand Inquisitor, swapped the baby prince with a gondolier to save his life from a rebellious faction that recently met its end.
Now it’s a hunt for the true King of Barataria.
Who will be king?
What sort of king will he be?
And, if the king is Marco or Giuseppe, what becomes of the brides they have just married?
Giggle your way through this ridiculous saga of baby-swapping wrapped in sparkling, lively song and dance.
Drink in the warm Venetian sunshine and float away on a river of shimmering operatic comedy featuring full orchestra, stunning costumes, and striking sets.
ABOUT THE SUDBURY SAVOYARDS, INC.
THE SUDBURY SAVOYARDS, INC. are a community theater organization founded in 1961 in Sudbury, Massachusetts that specializes in the light operas (“operettas”) composed by W.S. Gilbert and Arthur Sullivan. We are one of the few theater companies in New England that performs all the works of Gilbert & Sullivan as “Theater on a Grand Scale” – with a large chorus, full orchestra, and full staging, costuming, and lights. These productions feature a chorus open to all who wish to participate, while our leads are selected through competitive auditions. We perform one large scale G&S show a year, in winter. We produce a smaller-scale, usually non-musical comedy or light drama in the summer, and occasionally produce concerts and smaller outreach events. Charity had always been an important element in our program of work; THE SAVOYARDS have donated more than a quarter million dollars to world hunger relief over the past three decades. Although as a non-profit arts organization, our direct donations are limited, we continue to work to find ways to support relief of hunger though collaborations. As a registered 501(c)(3) organization, donations and gifts to THE SAVOYARDS are applicable as charitable deductions for tax purposes.
