The Grand Duke 2025
The Blue Hill Troupe, Ltd. presents, for the benefit of Young People’s Chorus of New York City:
Gilbert & Sullivan’s The Grand Duke; or, The Statutory Duel
Written by William S. Gilbert
Composed by Sir Arthur S. Sullivan
Directed & Choreographed by Gary Slavin
Assistant Directed & Assistant Choreographed by Janet Bushor
Music Direction by David Schmidt
Six performances at El Teatro of El Museo del Barrio, 1230 Fifth Avenue at 104th Street, New York City.
Gilbert & Sullivan’s final collaboration may be the duo’s topsy-turviest! Laced with their trademark social satire and romantic misadventures, this treasure of an operetta (in BHT’s performance edition from 2005) boasts a sumptuous score and a zany plot to overthrow the government by—who else?—a troupe of actors.
