Patience by Gilbert and Sullivan

Southgate Opera returns to the stage with Patience, one of Gilbert and Sullivan’s most witty and tuneful operettas, at the Wyllyotts Theatre, Potters Bar, from 11–14 February. When the poet Bunthorne becomes the object of devotion for a chorus of swooning young ladies, the steadfastly practical Patience finds herself bewildered by the very idea of romance. What follows is a delightful clash between sincerity and affectation, all set to some of Sullivan’s finest music. With a long and proud history of performing Gilbert and Sullivan, Southgate Opera is renowned for breathing new life into these classic works while remaining true to their spirit. Patience offers both seasoned G&S fans and newcomers a perfect introduction to the genre: clever, tuneful and laugh-out-loud funny. Audiences can expect wonderful singing, a fantastic orchestra and the company’s commitment to high quality performances.
