TRIAL BY JURY AND THE SORCERER, National Gilbert & Sullivan Opera Company
accompanied by the National Festival Orchestra

A magical double bill of two Gilbert & Sullivan favourites.

TRIAL BY JURY is a delightful, one act operetta about the glamorous Angelina, jilted by her dastardly fiancee Edwin. She decides to sue him for breach of promise of marriage. The judge and indeed all the members of the jury fall for Angelina’s charms so will she finally manage to walk down the aisle?

Gilbert’s wit is brilliant and Sullivan’s music at its best, so no wonder Trial by Jury has been referred to as "probably the most successful British one-act operetta of all time”. A joy!

THE SORCERER Here is a rare opportunity to see a magical Gilbert and Sullivan show that seldom gets a professional outing. The plot of The Sorcerer is based on a Christmas story, An Elixir of Love, that Gilbert wrote for The Graphic magazine in 1876.

Love potions, a sorcerer and his magic spells... what could possibly go wrong? Don’t miss this spellbinding production directed by John Savournin and conducted by the equally magical James Hendry.

Lead by Hammond organ-guru, James Taylor, JTQ stands with one foot planted firmly in 2018 – and other, just as firmly, somewhere south of the 1970s.

For a quarter of a century, the James Taylor Quartet have set the standard for the coolest sounds in funky acid jazz. On dozens of mighty albums and at their legendary gigs at home and around the world, they’ve quietly become a byword for distinguished British creativity.

In addition to his work with JTQ – James has collaborated with the likes of U2, The Wonderstuff, Manic Street Preachers, The Pogues, as well as with Tom Jones on the multi-platinum album Reload.

JTQ are perhaps best-known and loved for their unrivalled live performances. With James’ Hammond leading the way, JTQ jam out with sly rhythms and kitschy-cool melodies, their live favourites include JTQ’s debut single Blow Up, Green Onions, Time is Tight, JTQ Theme and of course, the inimitable, Starsky and Hutch.
