"The Gondoliers"

Few of the Gilbert and Sullivan musical operettas are better known than "The Gondoliers" and Nelson audiences will have a chance to recapture the pageantry and beautiful music and lyrics of this operetta when it is performed by the Nelson Operatic Society in the Theatre Royal from September 23 to 30. Our front cover gives some idea of the colourful costumes used. The producer is Mr Len AsshetonHarbord.
