One of Gilbert and Sullivan’s most successful shows, this opera is a charming romantic comedy that tells the tale of poet Reginald Bunthorne, whom all the maidens in the village are besotted with, but he only has eyes for Patience. The problem? Bunthorne’s artistic ways are all just an act to attract women. Besides, Patience is in love with her childhood sweetheart, who happens to be a real poet. Its light-hearted plot, clever lyrics and charming music makes it a natural to delight the entire family. The Gilbert and Sullivan Light Opera Company of LI has a passion for bringing these classic, comic operas to life. Don’t miss this great musical performance.
