The multi-talented Maleny Singers are looking forward to returning to the Maleny Community Centre in June and filling it with the sound of laughter, music and feet stamping.
The production ‘Yeomen of the Guard’, one of Gilbert and Sullivan’s more durable comic operas, will be performed on June 12, 13, 19 and 20.
With long-time favourites Colin Dunn, Evalee Sharples and Viera Keogh in lead roles, and Margaret Taylor’s astute musical direction and stagecraft, the singing should be memorable.
Critics say this is one of Arthur Sullivan’s best scores befitting Gilbert’s libretto. Although his usual quota of humorous one-liners can be heard, the storyline also carries a certain sadness, beautifully brought out by the gentle harmonies of the arias and quartets.
Tickets are adults $35, concession $30 and child (up to 15) $10. Bookings at www.trybooking.com/BPMNW
