Tickets are now on sale for the Gilbert & Sullivan Society of Houston’s summer production of The Gondoliers, celebrating the company’s 75th season. In a full-circle moment, The Gondoliers was the Society’s very first production in 1952. The production also coincides with the 40th season of the Wortham Theater Center, where the Society staged The Gondoliers for the inaugural performance in the Cullen Theater in 1987. Houston’s longest-running opera company brings this lively, satirical tale back to the stage for the first time since 2017. A hallmark of Gilbert and Sullivan’s signature wit, The Gondoliers blends romance, mistaken identity, and playful commentary on class and duty. The operetta is family-friendly.
Returning as stage director is Alyssa Weathersby, a Houston–native and New York–based director, choreographer, and performer who helmed last season’s acclaimed Iolanthe. Music Director Dr. Clifton Evans also returns to the company, having previously served as assistant conductor (2000–2003) and music director (2003–2008). Assistant Music Director for The Gondoliers is Gregory D. McDaniel, a Houston native, an active conductor and educator.
It’s best to buy tickets early, as shows tend to sell out.
