Ludwig, an actor, replaces the company manager, Ernest, and then he replaces the miserly Grand Duke Rudolph of Pfennig Halbpfennig, after "killing" each of them by drawing the ace from a deck of cards in two "statutory" duels. By winning the statutory duels, Ludwig assumes all of Ernest's and Rudolph's rights and obligations. Soon he finds himself with far more wives, and prospective wives, than he knows what to do with.

The Grand Duke, Gilbert and Sullivan's last collaboration, written in 1896, is scarcely performed. For all Gilbert and Sullivan fans this is a rare opportunity to participate in one of their most extraordinary operas. If you want, or need, to complete the canon and see all the 14 Savoy operas then don’t miss this opportunity. Director Richard Burman and Music Director John Ferguson with cast and chorus of Gilbert and Sullivan Opera Victoria delight in bringing to the Alexander Theatre Monash University this extraordinary work.

DIRECTOR RICHARD BURMAN
MUSICAL DIRECTOR JOHN FERGUSON
REPETITEUR PAM CHRISTIE
