The Gilbert and Sullivan Society of Winnipeg would like to thank all those who came out and supported our Bunthorne's Brunch fundraiser and donated auction prizes. A most wonderful time was had by all!

The costume traditionally worn by Buthorne, one of the poets in Patience, is a copy of Oscar Wilde’s famous outfit: floppy hat, big bow tie, velvet jacket and knee breeches, buckled shoes. The opera is a satire of the “aesthetic” movement in late-Victorian art and literature, in which Wilde was a central figure. To prepare American audiences for Patience, D’Oyly Carte persuaded Wilde to go on a lecture tour of the States, paying his expenses.
