Gilbert & Sullivan - The Sorcerer



Synopsis
The villagers of Ploverleigh are celebrating the betrothal of Alexis, son of Sir Marmaduke Pointdextre, to Aline, daughter of Lady Sangazure, who just happens to be Sir Marmaduke's old flame. Alexis determines that the whole village should be as happily in love as he is, regardless of artificial barriers like rank, wealth, and age. He arranges for the professional sorcerer Mr. Wells, "a dealer in magic and spells," to administer his love potion to all the villagers at the engagement tea. The plan succeeds uproariously!

Featuring the London Symphony Orchestra and the Ambrosian Opera Chorus and starring Clive Revill, Alexander Oliver, Nan Christie, David Kernan and Donald Adams.


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, Clive Revill is John Wellington Wells, Alexander Oliver is Alexis, and Nan Christie is Aline. 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.
