Iolanthe

Opportunities of seeing the Gilbert and Sullivan operas are rather rare, and the production of one of the prettiest of them all, Iolanthe, will appeal to the public. The opera will be performed by the Armed Services Operatic Society, a company supported by AEWS. Some very magnificent costumes have been made, and the large chorus will be accompanied by an orchestra led by Leela Bloy and containing many of the finest musicians in Wellington. A military band will also be in attendance.

Iolanthe will be played in the Opera House from Saturday, July 28, to Saturday. August 4, with two matinees. The producer is Eva Moore, who is steeped to the eyebrows in the G. & S. tradition.
