About The Gondoliers

Two handsome and charming gondoliers discover that one is the long-lost heir to the throne of Barataria - but which one?

In pursuit of the truth, a bewildering series of events threaten both their marriages and their claim to the throne.

The Gondoliers, Gilbert & Sullivan's last great success, is a fizzing comedy of mistaken identity that marries joy and chaos with a sharp satire of monarchy and class. This new production is helmed by Liam Steel, who directed ETO's Olivier Award-winning production of Paul Bunyan.

Sung in English with English surtitles.

"English Touring Opera pulls the audience close in a staging full of tenderness and intimacy."
