PRODUCTIONS

from modest origins

On November 18, 1960, a group of Hyde Parkers opened a production of Gilbert and Sullivan’s The Gondoliers in the University of Chicago’s Mandel Hall. From this beginning grew The Gilbert & Sullivan Opera Company, an Illinois not-for-profit corporation, which has staged more than fifty productions of the G&S full-length comic operas.
