Trial By Jury & The Zoo

This double bill pairs two classic comic operas by Gilbert and Sullivan, offering an evening of witty satire and tuneful music. *Trial by Jury*, a one-act operetta first produced in 1875, lampoons the legal system with a farcical breach-of-promise lawsuit. Its success launched the famous series of Savoy Operas. *The Zoo* complements it with another lighthearted tale.

Attendees can expect a lively performance where the absurd plots are played straight, highlighting the hypocrisy of authority figures. The music, praised for its wit and good humour, perfectly complements Gilbert's satire. This production brings together two short works that have been frequently revived and remain popular today.
