Arthur Sullivan
Iolanthe
★★★★☆ Satirical fairytale
The Edinburgh Gilbert and Sullivan Society makes a triumphant return to the King’s Theatre with Iolanthe, a magical musical experience in which the British government comes face to face with immortal fairies.
Ruddigore: The Witch’s Curse
★★★★★ Electric verve
Ruddigore: The Witch’s Curse, presented by the Edinburgh University Savoy Opera Group at the Bedlam Theatre to Saturday, is absurdly good.
The Grand Duke
★★★★☆ Inspired merriment
The Grand Duke, from EdGAS, is a pleasurably silly delight from start to finish. Consistently stylised to the perfect degree of deliberate overacting, it elicits laughs without being overdone.
Biolanthe
★★★☆☆ Inventive
The Edinburgh University Savoy Opera Group has created an inventive updating of Gilbert and Sullivan in Biolanthe, running in the intimate Tech Cube 0 at Summerhall for three performances only.
