In March 2020, the Edinburgh Gilbert and Sullivan Society were
required to cancel performances of "Patience" in the King's Theatre
Edinburgh. However, rather than let all that hard work go to waste,
we are pleased to present a concert version of Gilbert and
Sullivan’s witty masterpiece, with full orchestra, about the
Aesthetic Movement of the 1880s. With willowy youths, sighing maidens,
hearty milkmaids and burly officers galore, it tells the story of two
rival poets and the superficiality of the women who blindly adore them
even although they're engaged to the burly officers. Every tune is
memorable and the humour as fresh as it was at the first performance!
There's even a Duke who wishes to, or should, step back from his Royal
duties and disappear into obscurity!The Edinburgh Gilbert & Sullivan
