In the first of four Proms recorded for BBC television, James Naughtie introduces a concert performance of Gilbert and Sullivan's operetta, given at London's Royal Albert Hall last Saturday. Their last great collaboration, The Gondoliers tells a story of baby-swapping, kidnapping and mistaken identity in exuberant and colourful style, and remains one of their most popular works. Including songs such as Take Pair of Sparkling Eyes and Dance a Cachucha. Featuring the BBC Singers and Concert Orchestra conducted by Barry Wordsworth.
