Lamplighters Music Theatre Celebrates 150 years of Gilbert and Sullivan!
SEE EVENT DETAILS
David Drummond leads a sesquicentennial soirée of scenes from all 14 of Gilbert & Sullivan's comic operas. Staging by Nicolas Aliaga Garcia, featuring 16 Lamplighters performers and the full Lamplighters Orchestra.
~~~~~~~~
Lamplighters Music Theatre has brought music and laughter to the Bay Area since 1952. Five singers and a pianist will perform a potpourri of choreographed excerpts from several Gilbert and Sullivan comic operas, using hats and props to suggest the various characters and stories. You will be humming the tunes and chuckling over the lyrics, perhaps for days!
Between 1871 and 1896, Gilbert and Sullivan broke new creative ground with 14 comic operas. The combination of brilliant lyrics, memorable characters in hilarious situations and Sullivan's exquisite melodies were previously unheard of on the English stage. They have influenced both British and American musical theatre ever since.
