Kentish Opera – The Yeomen of the Guard

Another first for Kentish Opera! A full production of 'The Yeoman of the Guard' by Gilbert and Sullivan, arguably one of their finest collaborations and possibly the most emotionally engaging of the Savoy Operas.

The story revolves around the hero Colonel Fairfax who is to be executed on a trumped-up charge. Fairfax needs to die a married man to secure his estate from the hands of his cousin
and accuser. He secretly marries the blindfolded Elsie who expects to be a financially secure widow within the hour. Fairfax miraculously escapes his fate and chaos follows. A classic Gilbert
and Sullivan story ensues.

Kentish Opera's production is fully staged, costumed and features young soloists from major opera houses, orchestra under the baton of Robyn Sevastos (MD) and the superb Kentish Opera chorus. This production directed by Stephen Anthony Brown and costumes have been designed by Carol Stevenson.
