There's lots of energy from all involved in this revered classic. The test of a Josephine is in two arpeggios in "Sorry Her Lot":- this Josephine fumbles her first "Love is alive but hope is dead" line but moderately recovers the second time. Then in Act 2 her "The hours creep on apace" is strongly done, and I have never seen a Josephine so spontaneously reveal her glee when Sir Joseph unknowingly promotes his rival's cause. Some attention is needed to bring Sir Joseph's uniform up to British admiral standard because here he resembles more a South American dictator. Captain Corcoran is in splendid voice.

One of the best productions of Iolanthe I have ever seen. Thank you very much for posting this video.

In a word, brilliant. Salutations from a Brit. from across the pond.

Props to whoever typed 2 hours of captions, I'm not convinced most of G&S' work can be understood without them

Funny how much patriotism is here for Britain while here in Britain you hardly see it. It’s such a shame and shows how corrupt our government and anti-British they truly are. Loved this piece of art from every variation I have seen. Makes me tear up

I enjoyed every minute.

Excellent show, cast, and subtitles! Making my theatre class much more bearable.

Thoroughly enjoyable, what a wonderful production. It captures the very essence of a G&S operetta, humour and subtle sarcasm plus great tunes.

Seattle G&S always deliver quality productions. Thank you for uploading this excellent production. Fantastic cast.

The ruler of the Queen's Navy had me in stitches. Superb!

Thank you so much for making this recording available! 🇬🇧

My favorite

Thank you SO MUCH for including excellent subtitles! For the hard of hearing, they made all the difference in making it a most enjoyable show!

This is always such a treat of a show to watch, and this is one of the best recordings available on youtube. What a wonderful cast, what wonderful singing, and everyone's comedic timing was exquisite.

Delightful production in every respect. Thank you.

with all going on in the world today, you brought me such joy, this is one of the best G&S performances on you tube. Thank You, from the western mountains of Maine

The video disappeared for a while, and I know that you gotta do what you gotta do...but this is by far my favorite version of this show so far. Considering I'm over here on the east coast, I appreciate very much that it's back!

What a superb set! Congratulations to the designer, construction crew, and the stage crew.

I always thought that the Stratford Festival,Canada productions were the best of G&S,but this eclipses them!

I think the Fairies are G&S's Valkyries! LOL

Just WONDERFUL! So lovely to be able to see this so easily in the comfort of home! And how nice to see something pretty much as it would have been almost 150 years ago in 1878 (no special effects - no computer anything! ) PS - Kudos for the period appropriate clothing such as the dress with a bustle at 21:48.

theres a comment now

amazing performance, thanks so much for sharing.

An excellent production except....The joy of Iolanthe is that it is almost the only G & S that has honorable characters. By changing the Lord Chancellor into a corrupt politician, you spoil the entire thing for me.

Fantastic. Thank you for showing this. 😀
