It’s 1897 and Britain is preparing to celebrate the Diamond Jubilee of Queen Victoria, commemorating the 60th year of her reign. Mr. Gilbert has been commissioned by the Queen to write a new song for the occasion; however, he is having difficulty completing it. Playing for time while visiting the Queen, he stages a contest, The Masked Victorian, to see who should be the singer of the new song. What follows is a delightful journey through a selection of songs by G&S by some familiar characters. Who will be the ultimate victor in this battle of the solos?
