Iolanthe – Summer Youth Program by Sullivan, Minn (2023/2023), Immexxi minn Louis Dall'Ava, Surmast Direttur Robin Shuford Frank, Saint John the Evangelist Catholic Church, Naples, United States

This incredible program challenges and nurtures young performers regardless of experience. In addition to rehearsing the production, youth participate in vocal masterclasses and workshops on vocal technique, acting, improvisation, and yoga. Since its sparkling 1882 premiere, the fantastical satire Iolanthe has delighted audiences with its clever combination of romance, humor, political satire, and the memorable musical numbers that made Gilbert and Sullivan household names. Twenty-five years ago, the fairy Iolanthe married a mortal – a capital offense under fairy law. However, her sentence was commuted from death to lifetime banishment. Fast forward 25 years, her half-human, half-fairy son now wishes to marry a mortal but it's a crime punishable by death. Left with no choice, Iolanthe sets out to challenge this law.
