  • that's so fascinating to see a modern day version of the opera. we did this last spring at school and it was so much fun.

  • The last line is "Thou Defendant is a snob, he'll reward him from his fob, so we've settled with the job, and a good job too." Always hard to remember that, as I've always been the Defendant and he only sings the last part, and/or has stage business. XD

  • @wenglishsai I think it might be either that or "from his fob", with a fob pocket being where one would keep valuables (particularly a fob watch) in the Victorian style. I got that off this libretto. If you search for the Trial by Jury libretto on google and go to Bob's digital opera site, they have it written as such there.

  • what is this bout? like the advantages or disadvantages of jury trial in australia?

  • just plain love it!!! lots of silly fun antics along with the great music.

  • The subtitles are wrong at the very end- it's 'settled with a job and a good job too'. 'part from that the subtitles, singing and dancing is brill

  • @MrCybershade ... I always thought the last line was ''... settled with a BOB (as in olde money, because the Judge threw something to the defendant) and a good job too...''

    But I may be wrong, I'm sure all the G&S afficinado's out there will correct me... But I did enjoy that very much, yes indeed I did...

    What ho',chaps and ladiesI send you my very best regards from Wales UK .. :0)x

  • As Brits would say, this is top chop.

    A continent with only 21 million people.  What greatness!

  • arnt the lyrics for this off?

  • Great version- Is the rest of the production on You Tube?

    I thought O Joy Unbounded was wonderful- can't understand the objection.

  • @pencpa

    I watched all five parts of this opereta (and this version!) in Yout Tube, but seems they have been deleted.

  • Isn't this a production from the Stratford Festival in Canada that did PInafore and Trail by Jury back to back?

  • @horridlm It was an original production by Opera Australia. Maybe they borrowed it? But it was done back to back with Pinafore.

  • o joy unbounded is really screwed up, the judge is hilarious though...

  • @Fartastic318 What's wrong with it? And the Judge is Anthony Warlow so of course he's brilliant :)

  • Haha...so funny!

  • OMG, I remember doing this one in High School, first opera I had ever done. This brings back so many memories. Thank you for sharing. One of these memories is during the first act, the men of the jury was supposed to go left, and I went right. LOL bumped into one of the other guys, and nearly fell off the stage.

  • i love this i was in a G and S society in England and love G and S this is one of my favourites

  • Probably my favorite Trial by Jury yet.

  • Subtitles? LOL

  • Comment removed

  • I don't know their names. They are all members of the Australian Opera. If you go to the link at the of the tune, there should be some information there, including the names of the cast.

  • Anthony Warlow- Judge and David Hobson- Defendant are the only 2 I know here. What a fantastic cast though! Sound and look wonderful!

  • The others are

    Ali McGregor - Angelina

    John Bolton-Wood - Counsel

    Richard Alexander - Usher

    Opera Australia Melbourne Chorus.

  • @balancedaustralia Anthony Warlow's the Judge and David Hobson's the defendant. I can tell you that much.

  • This is marvellous!

    Who per-chance plays the defendant?

  • David Hobson.
