 Lady, Be Good!
Ohio Light Opera
At College of Wooster
Wednesday, July 10th - Friday, August 9th

A landmark show, Lady, Be Good! was George Gershwin's first Broadway collaboration with brother Ira, and the show that confirmed the stardom of Fred and Adele Astaire. Just as importantly, in George's musical hands, it brought jazz and fascinating rhythm, front and center, to the Broadway stage. The plot focuses on brother and sister orphans, Dick and Susie Trevor, who are evicted from their lodgings by the wealthy, scheming Josephine Vanderwater, who has her sights set on Dick. He, however, is in love with Shirley Vernon, but feels that he has no choice but to marry Jo. Susie, in the meantime, has paired up with a disheveled passerby, Jack Robinson, who is the disinherited nephew of a wealthy, now-deceased uncle. Complications arise by way of lawyer Watty Watkins, who convinces Susie to impersonate a wealthy Mexican widow as part of a scheme to save his own skin.

 The Gondoliers
Ohio Light Opera
At College of Wooster
Tuesday, July 16th - Saturday, August 10th

This comic opera, the last great success of Gilbert and Sullivan, is set in 1750 Venice and has what for many is the pair's most lilting, sparkling, and dance-filled score. The story deals with two foster brothers, gondoliers Marco and Giuseppe, who learn that one of them is presumably the heir to the throne of Barataria and was wed as an infant to Casilda, daughter of the impoverished Duke and Duchess of Plaza-Toro. The two gondoliers, however, through a game of blind man's bluff, have selected and married Gianetta and Tessa. Toward the goal of replenishing his coffers, the Duke has come to Venice to seek the missing monarch for his daughter's hand. To further complicate matters, Casilda is in love with Luiz, the Duke's attendant and drummer. But ... things are seldom what they seem!

 The Grand Duchess of Gerolstein
Ohio Light Opera
At College of Wooster
Wednesday, July 24th - Thursday, August 8th

The young Duchess has come of age, but her scheming ministers search for means to keep her distracted from state business. They try turning her attention to the flash and dash of the army, but she takes a special shine to Private Fritz, whom she promotes through the ranks until he makes general. Somewhat dense, he wants nothing more than to wed his sweetheart Wanda, on whom army chief General Boum has his own eyes set. The incensed Duchess seeks revenge and plots with her ministers to bring down the new Commander-in-Chief. The show features dazzling Offenbach tunes, including the justly famous 'Here is the Sabre of My Father,' in which the Duchess entrusts the 'official sword' to General Fritz, and 'Tell Him, Please,' in which she tries to convince the naïve youth that a certain "friend of hers" has a crush on him.

July 24 - Aug. 8, The College of Wooster, 1189 Beall Ave., Wooster, (330) 263-2345
