Now in their 21^st season, Festival favourites and ‘masters of G&S in small spaces’ Charles Court Opera bring us an enchanting fully-staged production of Gilbert & Sullivan’s much beloved Iolanthe, the duo’s sharp satire of power, privilege and parliamentary democracy.

Featuring some of Sullivan’s most glorious music, including ‘Oh foolish fay’ and the ever-popular ‘The Nightmare Song’, we invite you to finish the Festival fortnight with the typically ‘topsy-turvy’ tale of a forbidden love that causes an absurdist fusion of two worlds – the magical fairies of Fairyland and a bamboozled House of Peers… !
