		The Yeomen of the Guard, or The Merryman and his Maid, is the eleventh of Gilbert and Sullivan's Savoy Operas.
		Despite its title, the operetta is clearly about the Yeomen Warders rather than the Yeomen of the Guard.
		Yeomen is not among the most popular of Gilbert and Sullivan's works today (lagging somewhat behind the 'big three', HMS Pinafore, The Pirates of Penzance and The Mikado), perhaps because it is not as light-hearted, topsy-turvy and immediately enjoyable as a 'comic opera' as the other Savoy Operas.

		The yeomen community lacked such technological innovations, thus amicable borrowing customs ceased to exist as an option. Thus, yeomen felt that they comprised an extension of elites’ labor and that their interests were being ignored.

	Stage Review: Savoyards march out lively 'Yeomen of Guard'
		Right off the bat, "The Yeomen of the Guard, or, The Merryman and His Maid" has all the great Gilbert & Sullivan trademarks: elaborate ado about the very improbable, fueled by misunderstandings, eccentric characters, fast action and zany complications.
		By no coincidence, it is The Pittsburgh Savoyards -- now, incredibly, in their 60th season -- who bring "The Yeomen of the Guard" to us.
		But Phoebe Meryll (Zanna Fredland), daughter to the Sergeant of the Yeomen of the Guard (Bill Bluemle), falls in love with Fairfax -- to the chagrin of his jailer and assistant tormentor, Wilfred Shadbolt (Corey Nile Wingard), who has been Phoebe's suitor.

		And, as far as I can tell, this is the only version of "Yeomen of the Guard" available on video in the U. This is the "serious" Gilbert and Sullivan, the closest thing to a grand opera the pair would ever do.

		"The Tower of London" changed into "The Tower Warders" and then "The Beefeaters" before becoming "The Yeomen of the Guard," even though, as Louise Lerner is fond of noting in her excellent Washington Savoyards program notes, the "Yeomen of the Guard" are not the same cadre as the Beefeaters.
		The timing for such a historical opera was perfect, because Queen Victoria had just celebrated her 50th year as monarch and the whole nation was interested in history at the time.
		"Yeomen" also features the deceptively simple "I have a song to sing, O," which manages to be joyful on its original presentation and sad on its reprise despite the fact that there is no reharmonization whatever...the story alone changes the way it is heard.

		Gilbert, the librettist, added more depth to its characterization, and gave this opera a more likely story, than any of its predecessors, while the music is some of Sullivan's most delightful, the lyrics some of Gilbert's cleverest.
		In this production, the fine performances of Dave Ross as jailer Wilfred Shadbolt, Susan Blewett as Phoebe Meryll and Jeff Caldwell as jester Jack Point were the highlights of the show, while Christine Peters as Elsie Maynard, rounded out her persona as a young woman torn by conflicting feelings.
