Ruddigore 1974

OVERVIEW

Ruddigore, or The Witch's Curse, is a comic opera by Gilbert and Sullivan. The baronets of Ruddigore are compelled to commit a crime every day under a witch's curse. Robin Oakapple is a baronet of Ruddigore who has fled the curse. He and his love, Rose Maybud, are about to marry when Robin's identity is exposed. As Robin cannot commit himself to a life of crime, the portraits of his ancestors come to life to punish him. He outwits them and frees himself from the curse for all time before being reunited with Rose.

This production of Ruddigore was first performed in April 1974 at the Salle communale de Chêne-Bougeries. It was the first GAOS production to be performed at what would become the Théâtre de Marens, in Nyon.
