Stewartby Amateur Operatic & Dramatic Society presents: 'Princess Ida' by W.S. Gilbert & Sir Arthur Sullivan
Prince Hilarion has been married in babyhood to Princess Ida, daughter of King Gama. The Princess, however, has set up a college for women from which all men are barred. Hilarion and his friends infiltrate the castle and Act Two Finale brings the men, led by Hilarion's father, King Hildebrand, to stage a full-scale invasion on the Castle. Will Ida's plans hold? Who's plotting behind the scenes to take the University's helm? And will love win in the end, in this fairy-tale musical comedy masterpiece?
Gilbert and Sullivan's eighth collaboration, Princess Ida; or, Castle Adamant, opened on 5 January 1884 at the Savoy Theatre and ran for 246 performances. The opera draws inspiration from Tennyson's blank verse narrative poem, The Princess, which had been published in 1847.
