Neither is it an opera

Humans who sing to their cattle are doing the right thing. And their cattle are gorgeous, they deserve a serenade!

Love the overture graphics! Nice treatment adding historical & artistic flavor to the whole of what’s to come. If only the audience weren’t inclined to applaud every bit o’ song…

Actually, it's Sullivan and F.C. Burnand

We did that musical 🎶 in our town long ago

Fabulous. I adore The Arcadians and this looks like a wonderful production.

Best costuming of Yeomen I've seen yet!

Very well done indeed! But given that you restored "A laughing boy" and the 3rd and 4th Yeomen it's a shame you didn't include "When jealous torments" for Shadbolt.

I love this show! Was there ever a complete video of this production?

Seen this so many times, forgot about it until today!

Ein Super-tolles Stück, eine herrliche Aufführung! Vielen Dank für's Hochladen! 👍🎶

Wheres act 2

Line fluff at 1:09:11 “thy brother and thy brother and myself”. Enjoyable production nonetheless.

0:46 i can hear the xylo being played on multiple notes.

Wonderful singing 😍

Superb!

Fabulous!

I first heard this on a Parlaphone that played 78s. The Parlaphone is a portable wind-up gramophone using a steel needle linked to a mica plate for sound. It comes in a very nice wooden box and still works. I regret that I lost the original 78 record years ago. I really enjoyed the music. A terrific musical. Thanks for making the songs available. I really enjoyed the Cobbler's Song and When a Pullet is Plump.

Nice.

thanks for the posting of an unabridged yeoman. very fine voices, orchestra, costumes and production. australia certainly leads the way in keeping live g&s alive

It took me some time to catch up with this performance, which I enjoyed very much. As a G&S tragic from way back and a documentary maker, I understand the problems that can beset the documentation of any performance. For such a monumentally long piece, a great outcome for all concerned.

McIntosh venture, the oriental extravaganza Chu Chin Chow, opened in Melbourne after a 5 year run in London. This lavish production starred Vera Pearce, Arthur Styan and Charles Workman and had camels imported from Central Australia and purebred Arab stallions on stage. The production had the misfortune to open during a transport strike, and despite a private Tivoli bus service to encourage suburban patrons to come into town, the takings did not balance the outlay.

The 3rd and 4th Yeomen's parts were reinstated! No wonder this act is as long as it is. I am ever so psyched to start working with Savoy in this operetta as Leonard Merryll himself!

I have watched both Act 1 and Act 11. Just brilliant. There are some real stars there. Thanks for posting.

Thanks for thinking it nicely done. The show was not miked or mixed in the Theatre but the sound was only captured for this video. If you knew Steve Bullock who does this for us for free you would never use the word sloppy. use is He is a man with a mission and works to his utmost in the constrained budget we have for such shows.

A good amateur production with mostlygood lead voices and good acting for the most part.. Phoebe,Jack Point and Elsie are excellent and as they are the centre of the opera, all is well. The small ensemble vocals are well done. Nice to hear a complete version for a change. However, it is miced, recorded and mixed rather sloppily. The strings are often completely overwhelmed by the brass. Some judicious leveling and compression and attention to not drowning out some of the lead voices with the orchestra.would have improved the overall sound greatly. Still, any Yeomen with dialogue is a treasure. Not an easy show to perform properly. Overall, nicely done.

Act 2 can be seen (hopefully) by the link below

A highly reputable performance. THE ARCADIANS is arguably one of the most influential musicals of all time.

I have posted Act 2, but in a different channel. Don't understand how TH-cam does this.

Act II please

Very enjoyable.

hi Robert. so you have Act 2 of this production? There are some lovely voices and I would like to hear the rest. A very creditable production.

Why are there so few versions of "Kissing TIme" posted on TH-cam, and why is it never in these compilations?

My father always loved this and took us to see it at the Birmingham Hijppodrome ? in the late fifties. Inia Te Wiata the New Zealand singer played the main character. It was wonderful and I still have the LP. Wish I could buy the CD.

please bring on Act 2 this is such a fine production would like to see how it ends and how the music and acting is played out

I don't know what Ummy video is, but you just click on the green download tab above. It is not locked as it has had 274 views. Cheers Robert Ray

Is this promotional video locked.? I cannot download it using Ummy Video .

Ok W0W! !

Any chance that Act 2 is available to watch? =)

Thank you Uncle Robert for such a lovely tribute. I didn't realise how much I miss him and Nanna until now. I have so many amazing memories that I will cherish forever. They were the best grandparents ever in the whole world and I am so grateful to have had them in my life. I nearly went through a box of tissues watching this video and can't wait to share it with Daniel and Christian when they get home. Grandfather definitely lives on through his boys though. I see so much of him in dad and yourself and Paul too. Unbelievable. Happy Birthday Grandfather all my love Michelle xo

REAL meter issues... between the leads and the orchestra..
