History of Stanford Savoyards Performances

 

The Stanford Savoyards has been around since 1973, and has performed a Gilbert and Sullivan show at least once each year, and usually once per semester. In the 1980s we occasionally produced other (non-G&S) shows, mostly during the summer months. WeÕve performed all the Savoy Operas (of which there are 13 G&S shows) at least once (and most at least 6 or 7 times), including The Grand Duke which we premiered in Spring 2007. WeÕve also presented Gilbert and SullivanÕs works with other collaborators – ÒThe ZooÓ and ÒCox and BoxÓ.
