A STRING OF PEARLS
A celebration of 30 years of musical theatre performances! Founded in 1975, The Brussels Gilbert & Sullivan Society performed all thirteen G&S operettas (some several times) to entertain Brussels audiences. In 1992 it changed its name and repertoire to embark on performing a broader range of musical theatre as well as continuing with G&S. These fully-staged productions with orchestra included operettas by Offenbach, Lehar and Kalman and many musicals including Carousel, Anything Goes ! and Oklahoma ! This special retrospective, costumed show will feature selections of some of the best scenes from those thirty years of performing.
