Durham Opera Ensemble presents Gilbert and Sullivan’s Iolanthe, a witty and whimsical operetta combining political satire with fairy magic, great music, and unforgettable characters.

Gilbert and Sullivan’s Iolanthe, presented by Durham Opera Ensemble, is a sparkling blend of political satire, romance, and fairy magic. Strephon, a half-fairy shepherd, loves Phyllis, a Ward of Court sought in marriage by the entire House of Lords. When a misunderstanding involving Strephon’s fairy mother, Iolanthe, causes Phyllis to renounce him, chaos ensues. The fairies retaliate by sending Strephon to Parliament, where their magic turns the British political system upside down.

With whimsical fairies, lovesick politicians, and sharp satire on privilege and power, plus a fantastic score, Iolanthe is a must-see!
