City of Toronto All Events http://ift.tt/22v75Lz The Victoria College Chorus is proud to present "Patience", a comic opera by Gilbert and Sullivan. Patience, a milkmaid, questions the true nature of love, and ventures to find it by devoting herself to Reginald Bunthorne, a much-loved poet. Her heart, though, belongs to another poet, the super aesthetic Archibald Grosvenor. Patience explores this conflict while also looking at the clash between aesthetic and average individuals. We cannot forget the seemingly hopeless romances between the Dragoon guards and the Rapturous Maidens either. All of these threads come together in an operetta that deals with many issues that are as relevant today as they were in the 1880s, including the nature of love and conflict between rival artistic factions.
