Each month for the next several months, Gilbert & Sullivan Austin will release a high-definition video of one of our recent award-nominated productions. These full-length videos have only been available for DVD purchase, so we are excited to share them with you for free. For a limited time during the month of September 2020, we hope you will enjoy our 2019 Grand Production of Iolanthe.

First performed in 1882, “Iolanthe” is the seventh of fourteen operatic collaborations by Gilbert and Sullivan. It is universally regarded as one of Sir Arthur Sullivan’s most beautiful scores - a high water mark in terms of music, wit, cleverness, and color – with incredible choruses, wonderful solos and orchestration beyond compare. Peers, British noblemen and honorable members of Parliament encounter Peris, lovelorn fairies from a golden glen – a collision of powerful mortals with feet of clay and immortal beings wielding magic wands. The result - havoc is wreaked in the House of Lords!
