Iolanthe - The Governors Centre, Sydney High School

Are love and equality a path to peace - or to the breakdown of law and order? Could they even lead
to both?!

IOLANTHE is Gilbert & Sullivan at their awesome, uproarious best!

When the eternally young fairy Iolanthe falls in love with a mortal, not even her friendship with the
Fairy Queen can prevent her banishment for breaking fairy law. Her secret, half-fairy son Strephon
fights against identity, class, politics and the law itself to be with his love Phyllis - an effort made
harder by her legal guardian and wannabe suitor, the Lord Chancellor, who has been in a downhill
spiral ever since the disappearance of his beloved Iolanthe.

Against a backdrop of amorous Lords and flirty Fae, and with farcical Fate lurking around the
corner, a fairytale for modern times takes shape!

IOLANTHE - with just a touch of Ludwig van Beethoven and William Shakespeare - will be
performed by the 30-strong cast of Gilbert & Sullivan Opera Sydney with full orchestra.
