Lamplighters Music Theatre presents Gilbert & Sullivan’s well-loved tale of
fairies, half-fairies, and love-besotted English noblemen, written at the
midpoint of Gilbert and Sullivan’s collaboration, when both artists
were at the peak of their creative powers. Sullivan’s
captivating score, unmistakably influenced by both Mendelssohn and
Wagner, contains some of his most accomplished and beautiful music. In the
story of what happens when the entire British House of Lords comes
into conflict with a band of fairies, Gilbert’s witty libretto skewers the
privileges bestowed on a dim-witted, entitled ruling class and—of
course—the eternal war of the sexes.
