The Yeomen of the Guard

For this season’s production, the Gilbert & Sullivan Light Opera Company of Long Island is pleased to offer its version of one of Gilbert & Sullivan's most ambitious operas.  The Yeomen of the Guard revolves around the impending execution of Colonel Fairfax. Phoebe's father, who has twice saved Fairfax's life, devises a plan to disguise him as a yeoman to help him escape. Meanwhile, the jester Jack Point arrives with his sweetheart Elsie, and both are caught up in the escape plans with results unlike any other Gilbert & Sullivan opera.   The score, considered by many to be G&S’s best, includes such classic songs as “I Have a Song to Sing, O!,” “Strange Adventure,” “Tis Done I Am a Bride” and “A Man Who Would Woo a Fair Maid.”   The fully-staged production includes a cast of over 25 of Long Island’s most talented singer-actors, and is accompanied by the critically-acclaimed Gilbert & Sullivan Light Opera Orchestra. Tickets are priced at $ 25 for adults and $ 20 for seniors/students.  In addition, each person purchasing a ticket may bring up to two children under 12 for FREE.  For more information, call 516-795-7745, 631-567-8264, or visit the company's website at www.gilbert-and-sullivan.net.
