TRIAL
by jury
Lyrics by W.S. Gilbert
Music by Arthur Sullivan
March 10 & 11, 2023, 7:00 P.M.
St. Andrews Presbyterian Church
3228 Sunset Blvd., Portland, Oregon 97239
In Collaboration with the Oregon Chorale
The Oregon Chorale and Light Opera of Portland joined forces for a special performance showcasing 19th-century English composer Arthur Sullivan. The concert featured Sullivan’s sacred work, the Festival Te Deum, for choir, keyboard, and soprano soloist. This lesser-known work from 1872 comprises seven movements with traditional sacred text.
The concert’s second half showcased Sullivan’s comedic side with the popular 1875 Trial by Jury, one of the first works Sullivan wrote with poet W. S. Gilbert. The one-act operetta tells the story of a “breach of promise of marriage” lawsuit while poking fun at the legal system.
