ENSEMBLE ORQUESTA | DON GIOVANNI
2025-03-22 19:00 - 22:00 (Europe/Zurich) | Christ Church, St. Leonards-on-Sea, Silchester Rd, Saint Leonards-on-Sea, TN37 6GL, United Kingdom
Dark, atmospheric, and bursting with life, this opera is the quintessential example of the unrepressed power of Mozart’s genius – sublime beauty, jokes and pranks, and spine-tingling drama. Here the best and worst of human nature are on display; the tragic and the grotesque, the sublime and the ridiculous are combined in the pursuit of spiritual and earthly desires.
Lorenzo da Ponte’s libretto is brilliant, but it is Mozart’s music – arguably some of the most beautiful ever written – that makes the work much more than a simple story. Richard Wagner later claimed that Don Giovanni is ‘the opera of all operas.’

JULIAN LIGHT OPERATIC SOCIETY | GONDOLIERS

Julian Light Operatic Society
The Gondoliers
Gilbert & Sullivan
A traditional production of this sparkling and witty G&S show

The Julian Light Operatic Society returns to Questors with a traditional production of one of Gilbert and Sullivan’s most popular works, The Gondoliers.

It’s 1750 and news arrives in Venice that one of two gondoliers has become the new king of Barataria, but which of the two it is not yet clear. They are both newly married and the two couples, up till now fervent republicans, rather like the idea of being royal.

But then they find out that the king, whoever he is, was married in infancy to the daughter of a Spanish duke, so one of the gondoliers is an unintentional bigamist and neither of their wives will be a queen. And the duke’s daughter is not best pleased when she finds this out as she’s in love with someone else.

Somehow they sort all this out, with Gilbert’s brilliant lyrics and sharp wit and a lovely plot-twist, all set to the music of Sullivan at his most sparkling and tuneful.

A fully staged and costumed production, with orchestra and specially designed set.

Dates: 16-18 October
Times: 7:30pm, plus 2:30pm matinee on Saturday 18 October
Running time: 2 hours 45 minutes
