Gilbert & Sullivan's Iolanthe whisks audiences into a world where immortal fairies take on the pompous House of Lords, with hilarious consequences.
Fairies, politics, and scandal collide
Edinburgh Gilbert & Sullivan Society returns to the King’s in this sparkling satire. Packed with witty dialogue, dazzling melodies, and a plot that’s as mischievous as it is magical, this comic opera blends fantasy and farce in a timeless battle of love, law, and lunacy.
Whether you’re a seasoned Savoyard or a curious newcomer, Iolanthe promises enchantment and uproarious delight from curtain up to final bow.
