Gilbert & Sullivan: A Musical Celebration

Mischievous humour meets soaring melodies — a sparkling concert of operatic wit, whimsy and unforgettable song.

From not-so-fearsome pirates with a flair for melody, to bewigged Lords of the House tangled in mischief, to lovelorn tailors in an imagined, topsy-turvy Japan. Take a seat, suspend disbelief, and prepare to laugh.

Hear highlights from The Mikado, The Pirates of Penzance, H.M.S. Pinafore and Iolanthe performed by an all-star cast of operatic talents, with Orchestra Victoria. Discover how these operettas changed the worlds of music, theatre and satire forever.
