We’re delighted to welcome back the National Gilbert & Sullivan Opera Company. Created 27 years ago, the company’s annual festival of G&S has long proved a favourite with Malvern audiences and has long received outstanding reviews from the national press, with regular four- and five-star ratings. All performances are accompanied by the acclaimed National Festival Orchestra.

Iolanthe is a much-loved operetta blending fantasy and satire. It follows Strephon, a half-mortal shepherd, whose fairy mother, Iolanthe, was banished for marrying a mortal. Fairies clash with bumbling peers of the British Parliament as love, law, and politics intertwine. With its enchanting score and witty libretto, this classic operetta promises an evening of laughter and delight.

Join us for a spellbinding production filled with fairies, peers, and enduring charm.
