Thank you for posting this English National Opera's version of Patience. Sarah Dugdale will always be Patience to me, and Derek Hammond-Stroud's performance as Bunthorne was perfect. Patience has always been my favourite of all the Savoy Opera's.
This is one of the best of the Brent Walker survey of the Savoy operas. It is essentially the English National Opera 1969 production (also used by Opera Australia in 1995), slightly modified for the camera.
When I was at William & Mary, the school's light opera company, Sinfonicron, did a production of Patience that replaced the Aestheticism with Existentialism. Seeing beatniks sing G&S is one of the funniest things I've ever seen. Unfortunately, this was before they started recording their shows.
Kia ora from Aotearoa! Thank you so much for uploading these videos, they make so much of my childhood! I don't want to ask too much of you, but if you could at some point upload The Sorcerer, Iolanthe and Ruddigore, I would be eternally grateful to you.
So glad this is on UA-cam! Patience is my favorite Savoy Opera!
Incomparable Donald Adams - wonderful.
Played the part of Colonel Calvery at Strathbungo Secondary, Glasgow in 1965. Have loved G and S ever since.

You mean Sandra Dugdale.
Big G&S fan here! Thank you for these videos--I can't get enough! This is a wonderful production!!!
Wonderful! Long a favourite, this first-rate performance is matched by beautul costumes and sets....more, please!
Derek Hammond-Stroud came and sang at my secondary school many years ago, and I have never forgotten it. I am now 73 and I still love G&S
How incredible to find this! I grew up on this version and Sandra Dugdale remains the "one and only" Patience, IMO. Thank you for uploading!
she also the best rosemaybud
The humor is great

At Boston University in 1967, we had flower children and the ROTC.
Subtitles uploaded
God bless you. We need more subtitles for G&S
