GSOV Ruddigore
About
Gilbert and Sullivan Opera Victoria·
⚡️🎵 Ruddigore is a fantastic, witty operetta with plenty of wonderful ensemble numbers. Ghosts, fair maidens, a curse - what more could you ask for!
A witch’s curse, a thwarted courtship, an assumed identity, a ghostly chorus and the irksome business of committing daily acts of wickedness. With marvellous music from Sullivan, and Gilbert’s most witty and wild characters lampooning etiquette books, melodrama and the Victorian obsession with the supernatural, don’t miss this irreverent tale with its spirited topsy-turvy twist!
Shy and law-abiding, gentleman farmer, Robin Oakapple, is working up the courage to ask the virtuous Rose Maybud to marry him. However, his dark secret and true identity are revealed. He is Sir Ruthven Murgatroyd – the cursed Baronet of Ruddigore Castle – who fled to escape his fate of daily dastardly deeds. How will he free himself from the witch’s curse to resume love’s true course?
