Presented by Gilbert and Sullivan Opera Victoria (GSOV), A G&S Christmas Carol is the Australian premiere of a playful adaptation of Dickens' classic A Christmas Carol using favourite music from the Gilbert and Sullivan operas, and clever new lyrics from Gayden Wren.
Featuring popular musical gems from The Pirates of Penzance, The Mikado, HMS Pinafore, Iolanthe, The Yeomen of the Guard, Patience, Ruddigore and more, the show is fully-staged featuring an ensemble cast of 15, splendid costumes and is accompanied by a live trio.
A G&S Christmas Carol is sure to delight both Dickens and Gilbert and Sullivan fans as well as entertain children and grandchildren with more than a hint of panto, and some delightful theatrical surprises from Director Ben Klein and MD Catherine Bates.
Gilbert and Sullivan Opera Victoria was founded in 1935 by JC Williamson with The University of Melbourne, making this Society one of the three oldest continuously performing arts groups in Australia. This production is the third and last in Gilbert and Sullivan Opera Victoria's 2026 season, which also featured two well-received comic operas rarely seen live: the Edwardian hit, The Arcadians and Gilbert and Sullivan's Patience.
Season 2027 will consist of a Celebration Concert, and fully staged productions of Gilbert and Sullivan's HMS Pinafore and The Sorcerer.
