John directs this new co-production by Scottish Opera, D'Oyly Carte Opera and Opera Holland Park of Gilbert & Sullivan’s Trial by Jury.

First performed in 1875, this is the first major hit from the partnership of WS Gilbert and Arthur Sullivan. Set around a classic case of broken vows - the defendant having literally left the claimant at the altar - the trial bubbles over with emotion, humour, and downright chaos, leaving the jury divided. How will they decide between the charming yet swindling defendant and the utterly captivating claimant?
