Utopia, Limited
By W S Gilbert and A Sullivan

19:30, Thu 1st – Sat 3rd May 2025 at Fitzpatrick Hall
Easter Week 0

Gilbert and Sullivan’s Utopia, Limited is a satirical operetta that explores themes of modernization, imperialism, and bureaucracy. The original story sets the plot on a fictional tropical island, where King Paramount seeks to adopt British customs and governance. With the help of his English-educated daughter, Princess Zara, and a group of British advisors, Utopia is restructured as a “company limited,” replacing its traditional monarchy with corporate-style administration. Ultimately, the Wise Men broker a compromise that restores some of Utopia’s traditions while selectively retaining British influences. Blending sharp wit with a lively score, the opera humorously critiques the notion of imposing one culture’s values on another.
