RUDDIGORE
8TH & 16TH AUGUST 2019


Charles Court Opera presents our Hammer Horror inspired production of Gilbert and Sullivanʼs Ruddigore.

Ruddigore is a spooky spoof on melodrama, with mad damsels, moustachioed villains and a gallery of deceased ancestors and is given a spark of electricity and plenty of punch in the way that only CCO can do. 

CCO are one of the leading lights in the recent reinvigoration of the works of Gilbert and Sullivan, and this production is directed by the companyʼs artistic director John Savournin (one of the “finest G&S actor/directors of the present day”- Daily Express) and musically directed by David Eaton.

Featuring a first-rate cast of CCO favourites, this production is not to be missed!
