I'll upload random videos according to my mood but mostly it would be music related like Broadway musical or some concert plus some other things like my work project so don't subscribe to me and expect any consistency in this channel but if you like to ask me to upload something pls feel free to do so (like my musical video are mostly suggestion from comment) since I have nothing better to do
12:54 For some strange reason, they changed the line from: _Oh, will you swear by yonder skies, [...]_ to _Oh, will you swear by God's right hand [...]"; a line, mind, that's hardly plausible as something Gilbert would've wrote given how taboo it would have been to invoke the name of God so frivolously in a comic opera of all things! Why they felt the need to make that change, I don't know...
I saw a production of this long ago and wasn't sure what I was seeing. Best I could understand is that G and S were making fun of posers. Everyone in the play is more or less a poser pretending to be something they aren't for status and to get attention from the opposite sex. Bunthorne pretends to be a poet to attract the lovesick maidens but secretly hates poetry. He loves Patience but she hates poetry. Then it all go downs a rabbit hole with everyone deciding that if they are a good match then it can't be because true love is boring and tortured love is hip. Sadly not much has changed since the 1800s.

My college had a theater group that mainly did G&S plays. They did a production of Patience that replaced the aestheticism with existentialism, and it was hilarious. I wish it had been recorded.
... Who was it, exactly, that sir Joseph ended up with? I thought she was one of the aunts, originally, which would be fitting and similarly degenerating to all parties.
I like just about everything of this production - except for Buttercup.I don't mind the cockney accent for her speaking but I wish her singing was less affected and bit more pleasant to listen to.
Heather Begg on the bass is just priceless ... she was taught to play it by the late principal bass of the opera orchestra, the wonderful Aloha Hunter (r.i.p.)
The sound quality is so much better than so many other Gilbert and Sullivan videos. Many Thanks....but on the other hand...“This particularly rapid, unintelligible patter Isn't generally heard, and if it is it doesn't matter."
