View category 2007 Ruddigore
In Gilbert & Sullivan’s melodramatic “supernatural opera”, we meet the villain who carries off a maiden; the priggishly good-mannered, poor-but- virtuous heroine; the hero in disguise and his faithful retainer who dream of their former glory days; the nautical snake-in-the-grass who claims to be following his heart; the wild, mad girl; the swagger of fire-eating patriotism; and, in one of the most famous scenes in the Gilbert & Sullivan canon, the ancestors’ ghosts who come to life to enforce an ancient curse. Ruddigore includes many well-known numbers including "When the night wind howls", "Happily coupled are we", Welcome, gentry", and arguably the most beautiful duet written by Gilbert & Sullivan: "There grew a little flower".
