The Yeoman of the Guard
Set within the walls of the Tower of London, Colonel Fairfax escapes execution with the aid of the Sergeant of the Guard and his daughter. A wandering jester and his maid inadvertently get caught up in the plot and as the scheme begins to unravel, disaster looms. The usual Gilbert and Sullivan romance and comedy is mixed with blackmail and tragedy. The opera ends with two reluctant engagements and a broken-hearted jester.
