Here's an excerpt from the Blue Hill Troupe's staged reading of The Gilbert and Sullivan Operetta "THESPIS" Almost all of the music has been lost and it has been given a new life with an artful reconstruction with new music by Thomas Z. Shepard

  • I was in the audience for this production, and was so glad I came. I've seen four productions of "Thespis." I have a thing for this first G&S collaboration.

    The question with "Thespis": Use music from Sullivan's other works, or compose new music? Here, the new music worked well. Music from Sullivan's other works can seem shoe-horned when applied to "Thespis." But not necessarily. On one recording, music from "The Grand Duke" ("All Is Darksome" from Act II) blended nicely with this number.

  • Very enjoyable. Like seeing the premiere of a Gilbert And Sullivan operetta. Much applause to the composer who writes in Sullivan's style without quoting his music. I hope this will be orchestrated and come out on cds.
