Event Description
Gilbert & Sullivan of Ventura County presents their production of Princess Ida.
A battle of the sexes ensues when Princess Ida leaves Prince Hilarion waiting at the altar in Ventura County Gilbert & Sullivan Repertoire Company’s upcoming production of Gilbert & Sullivan’s Princess Ida or Castle Adamant.
Gilbert aims his humorous barbs at the feminist movement, the aristocracyand our penchant for battling out our difficulties whether our swords be words or weapons. Princess Ida is based on Alfred Lord Tennyson’s epic poem, The Princess. Lady Psyche (Tamarah Ashton) puts the teaching of Princess Ida’s (Tara McGrath) seminary for women very succinctly when she sings that “Darwinian man, though well-behaved, is really only a monkey shaved.” Prince Hilarion (Gary Saxer) and friends, Cyril and Florian (Paul Panico and Robert Weibezahl), don academy garb and attempt to infiltrate the seminary as new female students, hoping to win back his bride (promised to each other at the tender age of 1 and 2 years) and avoid war between the kingdoms of their fathers, King Hildebrand (John Bowers) and King Gama (Terry Fishman). Joined by many of the company regulars (John Pillsbury as Arac, Molly Siskin as Melissa), and several new faces, Princess Ida promises to be another wonderful addition to the VCGSRC productions of the Gilbert & Sullivan canon.
