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.

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

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

@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.

@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

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

[verdew8181]

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

[MrCybershade]

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

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