Gilbert and Sullivan's "Ruddigore" - Light Opera of Sacramento - August 3, 2024

I was pleased to see this show. I was surprised that the song "My Eyes Are Fully Open" was in this show, since it's also in the later show "The Pirates of Penzance." It's very popular and one of the most difficult songs I've ever heard of in English. 

I was also surprised how many people I knew in the show: Martin Lehman as Sir Despard Murgatroyd of Ruddigore, Eve Nyren, Krissy Schwerin, and Keith Gray. Don Draughon was supposed to be in the show, but he was apparently sick. 

Here is "The Pirates of Penzance" version of "My Eyes Are Fully Open." I saw this performance live by Opera Australia in 2006, in Brisbane, Queensland, AU.
