None
of the four titles in this set (all of which are available to buy
separately) have any extras but for any fan of the genre will definitely
be deemed essential.
THE
TITLES
 THE
GONDOLIERS
Set
in Venice, The Gondoliers is a quirky tale of two handsome gondoliers
who discover, that shortly after they get married, that one of them is a
long lost prince. Unfortunately, it is not clear which one of the two is
the prince, and until the mystery is solved, they rule jointly. A
further complication arises when it is revealed that the prince was
married as a child to a princess. The result ? Two husbands, three
wives, an unknown prince and a state of confusion.
 THE
MIKADO
Nanki-Poo, the son of the Mikado, leaves home and disguises himself as a
musician to escape a distasteful marriage and meets a beautiful girl.The
Mikado is the comedy classic in which W.S. Gilbert's 'topsy-turvy' words
met with a supreme musical response from Sir Arthur Sullivan. This is
the most widely-loved and, by general agreement, hilarious of the Savoy
Operas, set in a wonderfully make-believe Japan.
 PATIENCE
Regina Bunthorne is a poet, adored by all the ladies, except one -
Patience, the village millk maid. Patience cannot understand why all the
ladies adore him whilst Bunthorne wants to marry her. However, it all
becomes complicated when another poet Archibald Grosvenor arrives and
also falls in love with her and proposes. Patience is a comic Gilbert
and Sullivan operetta in two acts set in the 20th Century.
 HMS
PINAFORE AND TRIAL BY JURY
Gilbert & Sullivan's light hearted take on how power and influence
turn marriage into a mating game with more than love at stake.This is
the perfect show for Opera novices, Gilbert & Sullivan afficiamdos
and long term opera supporters alike.
