Our next show will be

“Yeomen of the Guard”

18th–21st February 2009
Carnegie Hall, Dunfermline

Following last year’s very successful production of HMS Pinafore, our team are presenting Yeomen of the Guard. A later work, and the darkest of the Gilbert and Sullivan operas, Yeomen has real drama, and you don’t need to suspend disbelief as much as in many of Gilbert’s plots. It ends, not with the usual multiple marriages, but with a broken-hearted main character and at least two reluctant engagements.

However, there is the usual Gilbertian satire, some excruciating puns, and plenty of topsy-turvy plot complications. Indeed, some enjoy Yeomen particularly because of its ever-changing emotional balance of joy and despair, love and sacrifice.

A must for all G&S fans, and a good way of introducing the genre to folk who like a grander style of opera – many believe that the score is Sullivan’s finest.
