Iolanthe At The Pleasance Options

[Michael H]

Has anyone else seen the Charles Court Opera production up at the Pleasance in Islington?

I really did enjoy it, and I feel they deserve a recommendation from me on here. I was very impressed by the direction, the singing (so well controlled and all together) and most of the acting (and the one or two people whose acting wasn't quite as charismatic as the rest had super singing voices).

Everyone onstage was giving it full value all the time, and really helped to create its own world (especially with the economical set and costumes) of leering peers interrupting a love affair, and the fairies wreaking their revenge, and the consequences that followed.
