Event Description
Malvern Theatres are delighted to welcome the return of the National Gilbert & Sullivan Opera Company. Created 27 years ago, the company’s annual festival of G&S has long been a favourite with Malvern audiences and has received outstanding reviews in the national press, with regular four- and five-star ratings. All performances are accompanied by the acclaimed National Festival Orchestra.
Iolanthe is a much-loved operetta that perfectly blends fantasy and satire. It focuses on Strephon, a half-mortal shepherd whose fairy mother, Iolanthe, was banished for marrying a mortal. Fairies clash with bumbling peers of the British Parliament as love, law, and politics intertwine. Thanks to its enchanting score and witty libretto, this classic operetta promises an evening of laughter and delight.
Join us at Malvern Theatres for a spellbinding production filled with fairies, peers, and enduring charm.
