The Yeomen of the Guard, the most dramatic and romantic work in the Gilbert and Sullivan canon, was greeted by the Daily Telegraph in 1888 as “a genuinely English opera”, and its Elizabethan setting reflects the nostalgia and patriotism stirred by Queen Victoria’s golden jubilee in 1887. A cast of suitably operatic stature performs under Sir Malcom Sargent, including Richard Lewis, Elsie Morrison, Owen Brannigan and, as the strolling jester Jack Point, Sir Geraint Evans.
