Wonderful!
We love your productions and are really looking forward to seeing this one at the weekend!
Just been to the 30th Annual Gilbert & Sullivan festival in Buxton, Derbyshire, UK. It’s a 2 week delight. Go if you can but avoid staying at the Palace hotel! Great performances fantastic surroundings at the Victorian Opera house and quirky beautiful town full of lovely shops and bistros. A must for G&S fans xxxx
I remember this production vividly. To this day, when I think of Princess Ida, this is what I picture. I've seen all the G&S operettas performed many times, but almost never so well as this.
I'll never never never never never never never never never never never never never go to sea again! (The Gondoliers)
When you say at 14:31 “... they definitely weren’t the music hall,” you make it quite clear that Sullivan was keenly aware of that distinction. However, don’t overlook Gilbert’s very un-subtle dig in Utopia, Limited. KING: We take your word for it that this is all right. You are not making fun of us? This is in accordance with the practice at the Court of St. James's? SIR BAILEY: Well, it is in accordance with the practice at the Court of St. James's Hall.” Which is the cue for the minstrel song parody “Society has quite forsaken all her wicked courses,” often mimed with silly gestures and tambourines reminiscent of the Christy Minstrels who performed there for years.
😊 very lovely performed and good balance. Welll done.
Wonderful lively performances and maybe the most joyful song ever! This was a bright spot in my day 🥳
I was so sad when I realized I'd missed the LMT stream of this! Beautifully sung.
Unfortunately a bit far from the UK! Will it be filmed at all? I'd absolutely support the cause to watch a live stream, especially as our local production just finished it's run, and you can never have enough (Gilbert and) Sullivan!
😲😳🥺 I watched Voyager religiously. I'm going! I am so going.
San Francisco just because trekkie heaven. Loving all these legendary actors (McKellen, etc.) giving back to the theatre.
I'm definitely planning to come!
I rewatch this all the time -- one of my favorites on a bad day! Such good performances all around!
In addition, D’Oyly Carte had built the perfect theater to showcase their productions. Victorian theaters didn’t have the best reputation. Aside from the usual complaints about the moral character of actresses and the theatrical reliance on the sensational and crude, they could be genuinely unpleasant experiences- hot and crowded and dingy. Richard D’Oyly Carte set out to build a theater people could bring their grandmothers to. Seats were spacious and patrons were expected to queue for tickets and sit in assigned seats. The theater was the first public building to be lit entirely by electricity. Program booklets were free and high quality and there was no need to tip the staff. The Savoy theater helped set a standard and introduced many ideas we take for granted today.
When the audience starts clapping before the end of the orchestral playout, you know you've scored a hit. Here the well-deserved applause started as soon as the singers finished, and was strong through the playout and for some time afterward.
Of course this brings us to the 3 productions for Austrailian/New Zealand audiences were brilliant especially the way the late John English played the 3 parts in those operettas
The Pirates one is THE Definitive Rendition of Penzance, it was only a couple years ago I found out there isn't ANY repeats to Cat Like Tread, let alone 7!
Sullivan's music was always the highlight of a G&S operetta, and his peers often lamented that Sullivan wasted his energies on comedies instead of something more serious (which is why it is ironically fitting that his comedies are the best known; where is Wagner or Offenbach now?) Gilbert and Sullivan often had disagreements, not only about the plot, but also the tone of certain songs. For example, <<<_HMS Pinafore's_>>> _He is an Englishman_ was supposed to be a biting satire of over-the-top jingoistic nationalism. Thirty years later, it was sung at Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee. Part of the reason is because Sullivan was far more patriotic than Gilbert. The acid satire of Gilbert often seems to be couched in the words of his characters, probably to evade the Chancellor of the Exchequer's censorship. In <<<_The Pirates of Penzance_>>>, for example, the pirate king takes a swing at respectability politics. The Mikado was set in a fantasy version of Japan for the same effect, in order to more safely criticize British institutions. Regrettably, Gilbert's libretto always seems to be the weakest part of their collaboration. HMS Pinafore had a strange satire where the ages of Ralph and the Captain were intentionally mismatched in order to satirize a similar plot hole in <<<_Carmen_>>> (yeah, not exactly the best satire here). Many operas started out strong, but were finished without resolving all of their plotholes. His character development, especially compared to Shakespeare, doesn't really measure up; Dick Deadeye is no Iago, and much like him, a great many characters feel unfinished, a great first sketch but not much more. But overall, you could do much worse than G&S. It's fun, family-friendly, and doesn't really require a lot of deep thinking, which is perfect for a light opera.
I would argue that Gilbert’s brilliance was in having his ridiculous characters played with a straight face. He and Sullivan were both very consistent in ensuring that the performers didn’t ham up their parts but played them as they were written and as if everything they said (or sang) made sense even if it didn’t. The goal isn’t pathos, it’s comedy.
So much fun!!
Excellent video! Thanks
enjoyed it so much im going to mountain veiw for a repeat & as luck would have it Lark Theatre is showing the movie BIO CHEVALIER this week !!!
I discovered your channel about a week ago, and have been looking forward to seeing this show. So here I am, tuned in and waiting. And nothing is happening. I happen to live in Japan-is that why? Right now it is 8:25 a.m. on Monday April 17, 2023, which is 4:25 p.m. on April 16 where you are. Oh, well.😢
Absolutely beautiful! Congratulations to everyone involved.
This was perhaps the high point of my favorite production of Princess Ida. I loved the energy of the entire cast and Barbara Heroux's sensitive direction. I bought the VHS when it was first made available. Thanks for sharing this to a wider audience!
❤
Is there any way to watch these nowadays. From this clip it looks like one of the better performances out there, I'd hate to think that it's disappeared forever, and would happily make a donation to be able to download this show and several others.
Lovely
𝙥𝙧𝙤𝙢𝙤𝙨𝙢 🙋
Ann was an amazing woman and her legacy will continue to bring joy to future generations through the Lamplighters. I was her Caregiver for six years. She truely was an amazing woman. I miss her so much. She was my Queen. We used to sing every night before she went to bed. Right before she passed, she got the biggest smile on her face, then she was gone. My Queen was happy when she left this world. ... I am a witness to that... I hope to someday go see the Lamplighters perform. Karen
TY FOR ALL THE AWESOME STORIES MAY GOD FOREVER LEAD💕🙏🎉
Pity about the subtitles,which seem to have been generated by a faulty speech generation programme.
I'm sorry but you yanks really can't impersonate a British accent lol
Which British accent did you have in mind? RP? Cockney? Sheffield? Liverpool? Scots? Irish?
Check this out: ruclips.net/video/6kX3PZ_ynss/видео.html
This is the best performance of The Law is the True Embodiment I've ever seen! 10/10
This is DELIGHTFUL!!!! 🤩
Success: the Gilbert & Sullivan suite is suitable for COMMUNITY, that is all communities are capable of performing this with success! Selah
There is a magic about G&S which trancends the Earthly plane!
I live in SW Ontario, and have seen several G&S performances at the Stratford Festival. Always a treat, I saw Pirates twice.
I am french and I love Gilbert & Sullivan especially when it is sung by the great John Reed. I am currently training to be an Opera singer and Alongside other Opera arias I also got my teacher to make me learn G&S arias such as Tit Willow (my favourite), When I was a lad, I have a song to sing O! and more. It's really a shame that Gilbert & Sullivan is not that much known in France. I asked a lot of music teacher and only one knew (because he played in an orchestra in UK). For myself, I discovered it via the Simpsons's parody ( 1:08 ) But I enjoy spreading G&S works (and also Other works by Sullivan only) to everyone I know in France. (sorry for my bad english)
Where I live, there’s also very few people that know of G&S, so we never see any performances of theirs. I’m not a trained musician, so I don’t have the privilege of performing their aria’s professionally, as you do. I so envy British highschools and amateur-society’s where regular enthousiasts can join together to put on these delightful operetta’s! For now, I’ll have to settle for youtube-recordings, messing around with piano-adaptations and spreading the music to as many people as will listen! I’m so grateful for the internet, which gives access to music that I would otherwise never have discovered…
This summer I go to Buxton to see 5 G&S Operas (The Mikado, Patience, HMS Pinafore, Iolanthe and Utopia Limited). Also I am getting some more people involved a soprano, a mezzo and an alto (my mother). We are currently learning: "There is beauty in the below of the blast" from The Mikado "I have a song to sing O!" from the Yeomen of the Guard "There grew a little flower" from Ruddigore "Three little maids from school" from The Mikado "So please sir we much regret it" (but without Pish-Tush :((( ) from The Mikado
I am American but have lived in France for over 40 years. My dream is to see a G&S production here. If Offenbach and Les Mis can be produced successfully internationally I don’t see why G&S can’t.
@@benoitpellet1657Sullivan is almost unknown to France and each time I tried presenting it they called it " just Offenbach but british". Though I think Offenbach and G&S are similar but also very different in some ways, and what is expected of Light Opera and Operetta by french people is different than anglo-saxon people. Also may I add, that G&S opera have very british references than some french people might not just get. I want to produce a G&S here and may have found a very unexpected ally: a Wagnerian Society that seemed very interested in G&S since they didn't know about it at all. I may be able to give a conference at one of their meeting and may present them 'Iolanthe' as we think it might be the most appealing to them, probably followed by 'The Yeomen' and 'Ruddygore'. We have experimented a bit by presenting G&S to other french people and they didn't seemed very moved by 'The Mikado' or 'HMS Pinafore', I guess each country has different taste, though I need to experiment more in order to know what G&S operas french people would like to see the most. Overall I think G&S can export internationally (which has been proven successfully in other french speaking country such as Belgium, look at Brussels's light opera company for instance).
John Reed is amazing! I wish someone would make a documentary about him. I know he was a gay and I'd love to know more about his life. There is a biography called, "Nothing Whatever to Grumble At" that I just ordered.
Extremely well done and most memorable, Thank you so much!
Fantastic! In the best spirit of G&S. Very tongue in cheek ☺️
Thank you so much for this wonderful performance- truly displays the legendary Lamplighter Talent, Creativity, Art and Heart!
Thanks for this.
Sideshow Bob singing sweet little buttercup brought me here
Thanks to all on your heartfelt comments, as well as your own incredible care, concern and commitment (and contribution) to the Lamplighters. Starting with Orva and Ann- it has always been about incredibly-talented and cleverly-creative people, challenging themselves and working together to produce and promote the very best in G&S (and so much more!) for generations of appreciative audiences. Lamplighters, both individually and collectively, have always put great Heart in their Art, inspiring and entertaining so many along the way. I can truly see that the LL heart continues to beat strong and I have no doubt we (all) shall prevail over these tough times with the talent and tenacity characteristic of this extraordinary Company. I am looking forward to it!
So many memorable years, so much incredible talent and such continuing commitment to Excellence in The Arts - Traditions that carry-on to this day, which make The Lamplighters so wonderfully special and their every production a timeless treasure. Thanks to all Lamplighters, past, present (and future!) whose time, toil tears and treasure have made such so!
An awesome Lamplighter and most memorable Bad Baronette! Thank you Charles Martin and the incredibly-talented Choristers
