Milborne Port Opera will be performing Gilbert & Sullivan’s Iolanthe at the MILBORNE PORT Village Hall from Wednesday 3rd to Saturday 6th April at 7.30 pm.
The show stars MPO regulars Jessie Copper and Lloyd Davies with powerful support from Andrew Armstrong, Sarah Bignell, Mark Blackham and James Craw and introduces Gemma Kiddle as Iolanthe.
The Topsy Turvy and satirical plot about Fairies taking over the Government and threatening the existence of the House of Lords is full of wonderful music and as relevant today as when it was written.
An 11 piece orchestra under the Direction of Peter Mumford will support the action on stage and enhance the choral singing for which MPO has become justifiably renowned.
All performances start at 7.30pm. Tickets, priced at £10 with concessions available at £8 on Wednesday and Thursday only.
