CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY G. & S. SOCIETY W.S. Gilbert and A. Sullivan SEPTEMBER 13, 14, 15, 16, 17 at 8 pm and 15 & 17 at 2 pm From the canals of Venice to the court of Barataria, this is a rollicking ride of song, dance and impish humour. The story begins with the gondoliers of Venice wooing and wedding the lovely flowergirls of the canals. Amid the couples are young gondolier brothers Marco and Giuseppe who are in love with Tessa and Gianetta, respectively. Meanwhile, the Duke and Duchess of Plaza Toro arrive on the shores of Venice with their daughter Casilda who was married, as an infant, to the King of Barataria. Unbeknowest to her parents, she is in love with the lowly attendant Luiz. Enter the Grand Inquisitor Don Alhambra, who informs the Duke and family that the husband-to-be was given to a gondolier to raise. Unfortunately, the gondolier died before telling anyone which son was actually the prince, Marco or Giuseppe. After many fits of jealousy, musical numbers and romantic twists later, it is disclosed that Luiz is actually the King, therefore married to Casilda while Marco and Giuseppe are free to return to their lives with their wives. And, in classic Gilbert and Sullivan fashion, everyone lives happily ever after.
