Ruddigore

There’s a spooky chill in the air this autumn as MOS presents Gilbert and Sullivan’s gothic opera Ruddigore.
Rose Maybud and Robin Oakapple are in love, but are too shy to tell each other. Unfortunately, Robin is in fact a cursed baronet who is in hiding while his younger brother, Despard, has been forced to take on the baronetcy. Despard in turn has lost his love Margaret and is tormented by the ghosts of his ancestors.
Director Lucy Seymour and Music Director David Batsman, who created our previous productions of HMS Pinafore and The Sorcerer, have teamed up once again to present one of Gilbert &
Sullivan’s rarely performed works. Packed with fantastic music, hilarious comedy and opera’s most annoying bridesmaids, this show is a treat from start to finish.
Will Rose and Robin admit their love? Will Despard and Margaret be reunited? Book now to find out!
Fully staged and costumed, and performed with a live band, this is an opportunity not to be missed – so get into the spirit of the season with Ruddigore!
