2018 G&S Opera Sydney: Ruddigore Act Two

Act 2 of G&S Opera Sydney's Production of Ruddigore, presented under the name of The Ghosts of Ruddigore (with permission from Opera della Luna), but it is the traditional telling of the story.

This is a superb and highly enjoyable production of Ruddigore! The quality of its orchestral sound and leading voices are particularly strong and a pleasure to the ears! Many many thanks for posting. Montreal, Canada

Why would Despard be wearing a crucifix around his neck????

[@elizabethbrown8833]

Great performance proved by the presence o picky critiics . Brilliant show, well done everyone also wardrobe, stage crew and of course the all important audience!!! 🌌🌎🎭😊

Margaret and Sir Despard did very well though their replacement of "Basingstoke" by "Leppington" (a suburb of Sydney) has probably confused the ghosts of Gilbert and Sullivan.

[@jrdh2012]

And the finale loses part of its original charm since they can't settle there safely anymore (in Basingstoke, thats it)

[@douhacomcastnet]

I think that the unexpected hearing of Basingstoke works better than Lepington.

Sir Roderick has a tremendous voice.

[@mianom]

"My eyes are fully open" is NOT rapid patter here.

[@ivanrorick]

I also was wondering why it was so slow.

[@brendanlinnane5610]

The Ohio Light Opera 2015 did an excellent job with "My eyes are fully open".

Incredible performance 🎭 ❤️❤️❤️😊😊😘😘😘😘

[@andrewmarch7891]

Oh please get the sound sorted out it is inaudible in many parts.

[@MrCuddlyable]

The problem is poor placement of microphones for the voices.

[@ignaciomoreno9655]

The sound isn't very good. At least the parts that I tried to listen.

[@barrypurves7176]

ghosts looking a litle half hearted perhaps

[@mianom]

They should have had a lot more rehearsal - can't sing together.

best RuddigoreI

[@Brianoconnor-x6o]

Oh Dear, I presume an amateur production. Good voices generally but Dame Hannah and Sir Roderick looked like mother and Son. Filming that showed cast moving about in the wings was unforgiveable.
Costumes were great.

there would actually be a difference in age as he has been dead at least a decade.
