The Blue Hill Troupe presents Gilbert & Sullivan’s operetta “Iolanthe” on April 9, 10, and 16 at El Teatro of El Museo del Barrio.
This is the tale of the fairy Iolanthe, who, returning after a 25-year banishment for marrying a mortal, seeks protection for her son, who is half-mortal and half-fairy. The queen grants him a title in the House of Lords, but when he falls in love with the young ward of the Lord Chancellor, Fairyland and Parliament fall to pieces.
The Blue Hill Troupe donates its entire net proceeds to benefit the Children’s Cancer and Blood Foundation.
“Iolanthe” on April 9 and 16 at 2 pm and April 10 at 3 pm. Tickets range from $28 to $100.
