Gilbert and Sullivan
Review – the Pirates of Penzance
✭✭✭✭✩ Upping the ante:
Frothy and fun – just as any production of the Pirates of Penzance should be – this new collaboration between Scottish Opera and the D’Oyly Carte Theatre Company has a rarely heard quality to it.
Review – Patience
✭✭✭✩✩ Sparkling:
Splendidly silly and tilting along at a merry rate, the Edinburgh University Savoy Opera Group’s production of Patience at the Pleasance has everything necessary to make it sparkle.
Review – The Yeomen of the Guard
★★★☆☆ Needs more polish:
Soaring joy, daft patter and crushing melancholy are underpinned by a score tuned right into the events unfurling on stage in this occasionally brilliant Yeomen of the Guard.

The Edinburgh Gilbert and Sullivan Society are making a virtue out of a crisis this week as they move from their usual venue at the King’s into the mighty space of the Festival Theatre for their production of Iolanthe.
