Utopia is the must-see show of the Festival and only the second professional production in the 28 years of the Festival.
King Paramount of the south seas island of Utopia decides that his people should adopt all English customs and institutions. But, he goes a bit overboard and decrees that the kingdom and each of its inhabitants should become a "company limited" based on the English "companies act" of 1862. It is a big production with rousing choruses and great wit, satirising the immense arrogance of the vast British Empire of the time.
A fantastic line-up of National G&S Opera Company principals is being assembled. Don't miss it!
