Gilbert & Sullivan's Iolanthe (semi-staged)

San Francisco Symphony

San Francisco Symphony Gilbert & Sullivan's Iolanthe (semi-staged)

Gilbert and Sullivan's seventh collaboration, Iolanthe, was born into a rapidly changing world. Suddenly, theaters had electricity; and the telephone was all the rage. Iolanthe fits right into this milieu, making light of English politics, and addressing the gender issues of a proto-battle of the sexes. Join us for this whimsical semi-staged performance, a SFS first.
