Rehearsals are now well under way for our next G&S show, The Yeomen of the Guard.
Since its opening night on the 3rd of October 1888, it has
been a success with audiences and critics across the world... 'We place the songs and choruses in The Yeomen of the Guard before all his previous efforts of this particular kind. Thus the music follows the book to a higher plane, and we have a genuine English opera, forerunner of many others, let us hope, and possibly significant of an advance towards a national lyric stage.' ~ Daily Telegraph. It is a rather more serious affair than most G&S operettas, combining tragedy and pathos with the usual comical moments. So, join the tower warders (under orders), the merryman and his maid for this much loved musical feast. We will be presenting popular numbers from Yeomen, plus other G&S favourites, at our Llandrindod concert in August. This will be followed by a fully staged production of Yeomen in October. See below for details... |
