Music, magic, marriage and mix-ups! Holladay Arts presents the third in their annual staged concerts of rarely-done Gilbert & Sullivan operettas. “The Sorcerer” is the story of the confusion when an entire town drinks a love potion. Among the sparkling songs are “My name is John Wellington Wells, I’m a dealer in magic and spells” and “You very plain old man, I love you madly”. Once again opera singers and theater favorites from around the valley are lending their voices to this production that keeps all the emotion without the complex costumes and sets that often keeps these wonderful shows from being put on. Performances are September 3rd and 4th at 7 pm at Holladay City Hall (4580 S 2300 E). Admission is free, but donations are very welcome. Come early on the 4th and enjoy the food and arts of the Harvest Festival.
