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…
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
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
Best costuming of Yeomen I've seen yet!

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

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

He uploaded it in a backup channel that belongs to him of the same name for some reason.
