I'm never as impressed by professional productions: I saw this very Ruddigore at the Grand Theatre and it lacked the sparkle of the three amateur shows I've played in. You couldn't hear the words (spoken or sung) in the theatre, and Dick Dauntless missed a cue in his duet with Despard, but above all, everybody tried too hard to be funny. The orchestra was pretty good, though!
It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a professional production of Gilbert & Sullivan must be inferior in every way to an amateur one.
