Madison Savoyards presents Patience, an operatic ode to the silliness of fads, fashion, and Art for Art’s sake, imbued with the brilliant music of Arthur Sullivan and biting wit of W.S. Gilbert. Singers and orchestra take the stage of the Bartell Theatre in downtown Madison August 2 through 11 to perform this rarely produced, poetic and aesthetic titillating tale.
The Madison Savoyards began in 1963 with a production of Gilbert and Sullivan's Iolanthe, and we annually present a staged production of a Gilbert and Sullivan or other light opera. Our fully-staged productions with live orchestra provide performance opportunities for young artists, community members, and emerging professionals, through English-language comic operas that are fun for audiences of all ages.Madison Savoyards welcomes and includes all people regardless of age, race, gender, gender identification, sexual orientation, socioeconomic class, or religion.
