THE GONDOLIERS
The Gilbert and Sullivan Company of El Paso performs this
Classic Operatic Comedy for its
57th season
EL PASO, TX – Celebrating its 57th anniversary, The Gilbert & Sullivan Company of El Paso proudly presents, The Gondoliers or The King of Barataria for its summer 2026 season. The Gondoliers was written by W.S. Gilbert and Arthur Sullivan as a comic satire on class distinctions. The plot follows two handsome gondoliers in Venice as they attempt to run the government after they learn that one of them is the King of Barataria. The operetta also tells the story of Casilda, the daughter of the Duke and Dutchess of Plaza-Toro, as she deals with the recent news that she was married to the missing King of Barataria as an infant, making her the Queen of Barataria. This lighthearted production has beautiful music, a happy theme and a surprise ending! The production cast , composed of local volunteer talent, is aptly led by Brittney M. Williams, Artistic Director; Marsha Watley, Musical Director; Jesus Candela, Chamber Orchestra Conductor and Dr. Esequiel Meza, Jr., Collaborative Pianist.
