Cox and Box (2010)
Following the success of "Sunsets and Edelweiss" in March
2010, it was decided that the company should put on another
show as quickly as possible. The original intention was to put
on Gilbert and Sullivan's "Trial by Jury," but a lack of
available male talent for that opera forced us into plan B - the opera "Cox and Box" by F.C. Burnand and Arthur Sullivan. The company performed the opera with a showcase featuring the various musical talents of the group.
This programme was produced for a single performance on
November 5, 2010 at First Presbyterian Church of Winnebago.
A critical review of the event was not published. As a result of
this production, we were invited to present "Cox and Box" at
the International Gilbert & Sullivan Festival in Gettysburg
2011.
