Event information

Welcome to our second, Bute Arts Society, Summer Outdoor Theatre event - this time an Operetta, made possible thanks to the support of the Rothesay Common Good Fund, administered by Argyll & Bute Council

Join us for an enchanting rendition that promises an evening of laughter, music, and pure entertainment.

Set in picturesque Venice, this lighthearted operetta whisks audiences away to a world of romance, mistaken identities, and comedic chaos.

The story revolves around two charming gondoliers, Marco and Giuseppe, who suddenly find themselves elevated to the status of royalty. Tasked with choosing their queen from a bevy of beautiful women, hilarity ensues as the true identity of the rightful queen becomes entangled.

With catchy melodies and witty lyrics, Illyria brings the vivacious characters to life, captivating audiences with their impeccable comedic timing and exuberant performances. As the plot thickens and the absurdity reaches its peak, love triumphs, and the gondoliers discover that happiness lies not in noble titles but in the simplicity of true love.

RUNNING TIME (approx): 2hrs 20min (inc 20 minute interval)
Suitable for all ages.

TICKETS: when purchasing an Adult Ticket you may purchase up to a maximum of 2 Childrens' Tickets Free of Charge.
