Cambridge University G&S Society: Iolanthe at the Minack
Cambridge University Gilbert and Sullivan Society — now in their 46th year of performing at the Minack — return to Porthcurno with Iolanthe, the witty 1882 opera that pits a troupe of fairies against the British House of Lords. Few settings suit Gilbert and Sullivan's blend of absurdity and grandeur quite like the Minack, where the Atlantic stretches out behind the stage and the natural acoustics carry every comic aside. Whether you're a long-standing fan of G&S or simply curious, this is a fine excuse to spend a September evening on one of Cornwall's most dramatic stretches of coastline.
