USD Opera presents Gilbert & Sullivan's "The Gondoliers"

The Gondoliers is the story of two charming Venetian gondoliers, Giuseppe and Marco, who are informed that due to an error of identity when they were young boys, one of them is the heir to the throne of Barataria. Matters are complicated when the Duke and Duchess of Plaza Toro reveal that their beautiful daughter, Casilda, was married to the future king as an infant. The problem? Giuseppe and Marco are both newly married to the peasant girls Tessa and Gianetta, and Casilda is in love with her father’s attendant, Luiz. Since its premiere in 1889, the operetta has delighted audiences with its memorable score by Sullivan and its satire of class distinctions, cleverly tucked into Gilbert’s witty plotline.
