Nelson Civic Choir Choral Comedy
NELSON CIVIC CHOIR : CHORAl COMEDY – The Art of Gilbert and Sullivan
Theatre Royal Sunday August 17th 3pm
BOOK NOW
Nelson Civic Choir and soloists for an entertaining musical romp through the fanciful ‘topsy-turvy’ worlds of Gilbert and Sullivan in an afternoon of costumed frivolity with excerpts from HMS Pinafore, Trial By Jury, Ruddigore, Iolanthe, The Gondoliers, The Mikado, and The Pirates of Penzance.
Presenting at the Theatre Royal Nelson, for the first time in many years, members of the Nelson Civic Choir, under the musical and artistic direction of Jason Balla pull out all the Victorian stops. Gilbert and Sullivan created a world where each absurdity is taken to its logical conclusion: fairies rub elbows with British Lords, flirting is a capital offence, gondoliers ascend to the monarchy, and pirates emerge as noblemen who have gone astray …
A merry band of eight local soloists present songs from some of the iconic G & S characters in between items from lively small group ensembles, and it’s all topped off by rousing choruses.
Choral Comedy presents an afternoon of memorable melodies with perfectly outrageous story lines performed in a completely deadpan way. See you there!
Nelson Civic Choir continues to captivate audiences with its thrilling concerts and varied programming. Audiences leave their concerts always wanting more whether it be a Christmas seasonal celebration at the cathedral or an evening of thrilling choral music at the NCMA auditorium. Now, returning to the stage of the Theatre Royal in Nelson after many years, Music Director Jason Balla brings a lifetime of experience in the theatre to lead this ‘motley crew’ of local singers and performers through a not-to-be-missed Victorian kaleidoscope of farcical choral comedy. Suitable for the whole family to come and enjoy.
