Performing an aria, duets, and ensembles from a variety of Gilbert & Sullivan operetti.

Ms. Richmond will join Madison Savoyards for, A Wand’ring Minstrel, I, a noontime program celebrating the fancies and formulae that make a Gilbert & Sullivan operetta. From the opening chorus apropos of nothing, to a soaring soprano aria highlighting the ingenue’s resonance in lieu of reason, the Victorian duo’s light operas adhere to a prescription that pairs clever composition with timeless wit. Under the direction of Erin Bryan, four singers and one intrepid pianist will present a topsy-turvy trip through a Gilbert & Sullivan operetta in concert.
