THESPIS (Ballet) - G&S - DOyly Carte - 1991 UnclaimedFr8 2017-06-30 | "I want more!" That was my reaction upon first listening to this captivating ballet suite. Rescued from oblivion, researchers Roderick Spencer and Selwyn Tillett in 1990 were able to compile remaining themes. Thespis ("The Gods Grown Old") was first produced in 1871. The ballet is present in Act 2. Of the five themes, only the Waltz is unique to Thespis. There is, of course, much more to the detective story, but is beyond the scope of this discussion. I hope you enjoy this all too brief bit of deliciousness.-----INTRODUCTION - Allegro moderato 00:01-01:34-----PAS DE CHALES - Andante expressivo 01:37-04:05-----VALSE - Tempo di Valse 04:07-05:15-----ST.

Patience (Act 2) - G&S - Opera Australia (1995, Live) UnclaimedFr8 2016-07-29 | This Opera Australia production of 'Patience', by Gilbert & Sullivan, was recorded live at the Sydney Opera House, February 28, 1995. This audio reproduction is taken from the ABC DVD, distributed by Kultur.com, #D4317. It is for educational and entertainment purposes only. I own no rights here. (But the DVD is mine).Patience was the sixth collaboration between Gilbert and Sullivan. It opened at the Opera Comique, London, on April 23, 1881. In October of that year, it moved to the Savoy Theater, where it was the first theatrical production ever to be lit entirely by electric light. From then on, the G&S operettas would be known as the 'Savoy Operas', and both fans and performers of Gilbert and Sullivan would come to be known as "Savoyards". 'Patience' satirizes the 'aesthetic movement' of the 1870s and '80s in England. ------------Link to Act 1 youtu.be/WBRPp4l5ChI ---CAST---Colonel Calverley------------John GermainMajor Murgatroyd-----------Neil KirkbyDuke of Dunstable----------Graeme EwerReginald Bunthorne--------Dennis OlsenArchibald Grosvenor-------Anthony WarlowLady Angela-------------------Jennifer BerminghamLady Saphir--------------------Roxane HislopLady Ella------------------------Toni PowellLady Jane----------------------Heather BeggPatience-------------------------Christine DouglasThe Opera Australia ChorusOpera Australia and Ballet OrchestraStage Production Director: John CoxConductor: David StanhopeInformation is from album notes, oakapplepress, and Wikipedia.
