The Grand Duchess Wichita (2015)

With apologies to a beloved childrens story the Wichita Grand Opera might well be referred to as The Little Opera Company That Could Friday was the opening night of the WGOs final production for the 2015 season Jacques Offenbachs The Grand Duchess and this littleknown comic gem did not disappoint Offenbachs operettas inspired and influenced the works of Johann Strauss Jr and Arthur Sullivan So even though his works are less familiar in the United States fans of Die Fledermaus or The Pirates of Penzance will likely find this amusing work familiar territory
