About

The West Yorkshire Savoyards make a welcome return with the Gilbert and Sullivan gothic melodrama, ‘Ruddigore’ - not as well-known as some G&S operas, but arguably funnier and more tongue in cheek than ever. Expect all the familiar G&S elements: terrific music, social satire, comic pathos -- but with a seasoning of sinister spectres! A family curse means a baronet must commit a crime every day or perish. In trying to escape his fate, he encounters dancing sailors, frustrated bridesmaids and a chorus of ghostly ancestors. What could possibly go wrong? Be prepared for laughs, thrills and fabulous music in this touring production directed by Graham Weston, with professional orchestra conducted by Oliver Longstaff.
