Recent Proms seasons have seen a liberal
sprinkling of complete Gilbert and Sullivan
operettas, under such distinguished conductors
as Jane Glover and the late Charles Mackerras.
With its historic London setting, the grandest,
most emotionally engaging of the Savoy operas
is a must for 2012.

Plan

Prom 49: Gilbert and Sullivan's The Yeomen of the Guard

David Karlin, 20th August

When choosing a Gilbert and Sullivan operetta to be performed at the Proms in a year firmly branded as "London 2012", The Yeomen of the Guard had obvious appeal, being set in one of the capital's most famous landmarks, and giving the opportunity, even in semi-staged form, to deck the hall with Beefeater uniforms.
