"The Gondoliers" - Opera at MCT, Inc. Description:
Whether romance or comedy is what you are craving this February, you can satisfy both yearnings Valentine's Day weekend with the pure lovely silliness of Gilbert & Sullivan! "The Gondoliers," a delightful musical romp, is the result of a bi-annual creative collaboration between the University of Montana Opera Theatre, UM Symphony Orchestra, and Missoula Community Theatre. "The Gondoliers" will be presented at the MCT Center for the Performing Arts February 12-14.

"The Gondoliers" was the last great success of the writing team of Gilbert and Sullivan, who are known for their satirical wit--especially regarding class distinctions, and that signature humor is key to this whimsical story. Two young Gondoliers have been raised as brothers. Right after they marry their respective sweethearts, they learn that the ruler of the mystical kingdom of Barataria has been killed, and one of the Gondoliers is actually the long lost heir of this deceased king. But which one? Only an old nursemaid knows. The search for her commences while the brothers hurry to Barataria to reign jointly. Romantic complications, silliness, and glorious music ensue as Gilbert & Sullivan "disentangle every knot"!
