Show-Me Opera – Yeomen of the Guard (MT)

A Gilbert and Sullivan Opera also known as The Merryman and His Maid, is the 11th collaboration of fourteen between Gilbert and Sullivan. Set in the Tower of London during the 16th century it is perhaps the most emotionally engaging of the duo’s works. The libretto does contain considerable humor, including a lot of pun-laden one-liners. Critics consider the score to be Sullivan’s finest.
