The Arts Society Enfield: 'The Very Model of an English Entertainment' – The Savoy Operas of W.S. Gilbert and Arthur Sullivan
Thursday 28 November 2024 10.30am
Enfield Baptist Church, Cecil Road, EN2 6TG
Speaker: Roger Askew
This lecture will examine how the peculiar geniuses of these two very different men, W.S. Gilbert and Arthur Sullivan, came together under the guiding hand of the impresario, Richard D’Oyly Carte, to create one of the most individual and enduring forms of theatrical entertainment. The Savoy operas, with their gentle satire, celebrate the quirks and foibles of the British nation, and are as alive today as in the 1880s.
The lecture is fully illustrated with musical examples.
