The Empire Lyric Players present the most tragic operetta written by Gilbert & Sullivan: The Yeomen of the Guard. Set against the backdrop of the Tower of London, this operetta balances high-stakes political intrigue with the duo’s signature "topsy-turvy" wit as a wrongly condemned colonel escapes execution through a secret marriage. Unlike their typical farces, it blends genuine pathos with sharp satire, following a traveling jester whose schemes lead to a bittersweet, rather than perfectly happy, ending. It is widely considered the most emotionally sophisticated and musically rich work in the Savoy canon.
With a stunning score and intrigue that diverts from Gilbert & Sullivan's usual work, The Yeomen of the Guard brings 16th Century London to life.
The show runs July 17 at 7pm and July 18 and 19 at 2pm.
