Gilbert, Sullivan and Michael William Balfe’s Sleeping Queen Opera.
We all know and love the operettas of Gilbert and Sullivan but did you know that the famous duo might never have existed but for the music of a talented Irishman, Michael William Balfe? Born in Dublin in 1808, his Bohemian Girl was instantly successful and gained widespread international recognition establishing Balfe as a premier composer. The Sleeping Queen was first presented in 1864 at the Gallery of Illustration in Regent Street, London – the same venue where the G&S partnership was formed. A short pre-opera talk will be given by Una Hunt, followed by selected Balfe arias and the performance of the complete operetta, staged and in costume.
