The Connecticut Gilbert & Sullivan Society will present a light-hearted presentation by Dr John E Dreslin Saturday, September 10 at 7:30 at Congregation Adath Israel, 8 Broad Street.
The entertaining evening, entitled “Here’s a Pretty How-de-doo! Confessions of a Gilbert & Sullivan Addict” highlights the humor of their 14 collaborative works. There are featured live performances of excerpts from their operas along with Dr Dreslin’s own anecdotes.
Dr. Dreslin recently presented a paper on the humor of Sullivan’s music at the International Gilbert & Sullivan Festival in Gettysburg, PA. He is the recipient of nine Eugene O’Neill Awards, a lifetime achievement award by the Connecticut Gilbert & Sullivan Society and an honorary member of Opera Comique of Portsmouth, England.
