Patience

2026 Summer Grand Production
June 12 - 21, 2026

Join us in June 2026 for our summer grand production of Patience. Last performed by GSA in 2012, Patience is the sixth operatic collaboration of fourteen by W.S. Gilbert and Arthur Sullivan. It was first performed in London in 1881, and was an immediate hit with audiences. Patience has some of Gilbert’s finest comedy and Sullivan’s most captivating tunes, adding up to a masterwork fully equal to their very best. It has wit, charm, poetry . . . and a delightfully complicated love triangle. A high-spirited send-up of artistic affectation. It is at heart a comic opera about the heart-love unknown, love unrequited, love of admiration, love of the fashionable, unselfish love, and selfish love, too.
