Gilbert & Sullivan's Trial by Jury

On Friday, 22 November 2013, we will be performing Gilbert & Sullivan's Trial by Jury as a benefit to raise funds for Gordon Page's cancer treatment.  This one-act comic opera by the famed duo Arthur Gilbert and W. S. Sullivan is one of their earliest collaborations,  first produced on 25 March 1875, at London's Royalty Theatre. The story concerns a “breach of promise of marriage” lawsuit in which the judge and legal system are the objects of lighthearted satire.

To help you learn the music of this charming operetta, here is a 2008 performance by the Bristol Catholic Players.
