Following a successful Melbourne season for Opera Australia in May this year, Prospero Arts is bringing this concert celebration of G&S to Brisbane. Directed by Stuart Maunder with James Dobinson as Musical Director, the Brisbane lineup includes Jason Barry-Smith, Billy Bourchier, Nina Korbe, Irena Lysiuk, Ben Mingay and Cassandra Seidemann, accompanied by a 19-piece, onstage orchestra.  “The world could always do with a little more silliness, a little more beauty and a lot more music,” says Maunder. “That’s exactly what this show offers, and we can’t wait for Brisbane to experience it with us.”
