The Yeomen of the Guard at Opera Holland Park

About the Event

Indulge in the magnificent architecture of London's Opera Holland Park Theatre for an unforgettable concert that will deepen your appreciation of opera. Broken hearts and broken promises are at the center of Gilbert and Sullivan's Shakespearean comedy, set in the ominous Tower of London where Colonel Fairfax faces unjust accusations of sorcery. Phoebe Meryll, deeply in love with Fairfax, is just one of many characters whose emotions are as fragile as the colonel's fate in this intricate tale. With the arrival of two traveling performers, Jack Point and Elsie Maynard, a daring escape plan unfolds, leading to a chain of comical misunderstandings and unexpected marriage proposals. Opera Holland Park and Charles Court Opera collaborate for the fourth time, presenting a fresh take on The Yeomen of the Guard directed by John Savournin, who also plays the role of Wilfred Shadbolt, alongside David Eaton conducting the City of London Sinfonia.
