Cox and Box/Trial by Jury - Postponed
Greetings
It is with regret that we have decided to cancel the upcoming performances of Cox and Box/Trial by Jury. With the current situation due to the Coranavirus (COVID-19) being very uncertain and the potential risk to our audience and our cast and crew we believe this is the best decision for everyone.
We are actively working on rescheduling the show to the middle of July with the hope that the Coronavirus (COVID-19) threat will have passed and we can resume a more normal life. Once we have confirmed plans we will pass that information on to you.
Please rest assured that we will refund any tickets already purchased or apply the purchases to the rescheduled performance. Please contact us at info@lightoperaofportland.org with your choice.
We greatly appreciate all of the support that you have provided us over the years and hope to provide more "Absurdity done in complete sincerity" soon. Like so many, this is providing a financial hardship for the company. Please consider donating to help us through, if you are able.
Regards
David W. Smith
Producer/Treasurer
Cox and Box; or, The Long-Lost Brothers, is a one-act comic opera with a libretto by F. C. Burnand and music by Arthur Sullivan, based on the 1847 farce Box and Cox by John Maddison Morton. It was Sullivans first successful comic opera. The story concerns a landlord who lets a room to two lodgers, one who works at night and one who works during the day. When one of them has the day off, they meet each other in the room and tempers flare. Sullivan wrote this piece five years before his first opera with W. S. Gilbert, Thespis.
Trial by Jury is a comic opera in one act, with music by Arthur Sullivan and libretto by W. S. Gilbert. It was first produced on 25 March 1875, at Londons Royalty Theatre, where it initially ran for 131 performances and was considered a hit, receiving critical praise and outrunning its popular companion piece, Jacques Offenbachs La Périchole. The story concerns a breach of promise of marriage lawsuit in which the judge and legal system are the objects of lighthearted satire. Gilbert based the libretto of Trial by Jury on an operetta parody that he had written in 1868.
Tickets are available at the or through Brown Paper Tickets.
