Set in the grim shadow of the Tower of London, The Yeomen of the Guard was considered by Gilbert and Sullivan to be the finest of all their works together, and is still considered by many the highest achievement in British operatic music. This is a new and vigorous production by Robert Ray, whose previous productions with the company include acclaimed productions of The Merry Widow, The Gondoliers and Patience. Sullivan’s inspired score, and some of Gilbert’s most intriguing, complex characters, make an unforgettable experience A gifted cast brings to life all the wit, humour, drama and ultimate tragedy to this, the most bittersweet and moving of all the Savoy masterpieces.
