Gilbert & Sullivan - Princess Ida
A Brent Walker Production for BBC 1



Synopsis
King Hildebrand and his son, Hilarion, are in their castle awaiting the arrival of King Gama and his daughter, Princess Ida. The royal offspring have been betrothed for 20 years, nearly all their lives. When Gama arrives without Ida, he explains that she has renounced men and formed a women's university from which males of all species are barred. While Gama is held hostage, Hilarion, with two friends, determines to storm Ida's castle and woo her into submission.

Featuring the London Symphony Orchestra and the Ambrosian Opera Chorus and starring Neil Howlett, Frank Gorshin, Nan Christie, Laurence Dale and Anne Collins.


About This Series
This video is part of a series produced originally for BBC.TV. With a production budget of $1,000,000 per opera, a special film set was created for each, and top stars from the world of opera and comedy were recruited for the leading roles. Here, Neil Howlett is King Hildebrand, Nano Christie is Princess Ida, and Laurence Dale is Hilarion. The London Symphony Orchestra and the world-acclaimed Ambrosian Opera Chorus perform Sullivan's music with exuberance and precision. A brief introduction by Douglas Fairbanks Jr explains the origins and context of the opera.
