Noted collaborators of comic opera, Gilbert (lyrics) and Sullivan (music) created a light hearted political satire called Iolanthe, in which Fairies meddle in politics. With a little background of Victorian England, we explore how satire from 1882 can still be relevant (and funny) today. We will watch excerpts of recordings and find out what happens when Fairies are in charge. Brought to you in cooperation with Sioux Falls Savoy and their upcoming production of Iolanthe April 4-5, 2025. (www.siouxfallssavoy.com)
