Reviews

Victorian Lyric Opera Company has found a gem in Ruddigore and they have set it in a jewel-piece of a production. It never received much love during its authors’ lifetimes, but in the adept hands of Director Helen Aberger and her tremendously talented cast, it is an absolute delight today.”
-TheatreBloom

With its colorful design, talented singers, wonderful musicians, an intriguing script, and wonderful score, Ruddigore or The Witch’s Curse is by far the best Victorian Lyric Opera Company production I have ever seen. Gilbert and Sullivan fans should embrace this opportunity before it is too late.”
