Something Grand is coming to Wallingford!

Rose Valley Chorus and Orchestra, a musical theater company, will present The Grand Duke or The Statutory Duel, the final collaboration between comedic-opera legends Gilbert and Sullivan opening October 31, 2026. 

Gilbert and Sullivan’s The Grand Duke or the Statutory Duel is filled with humor, lively music, surprising twists and plenty of confusion. This rarely performed comedy gives audiences a chance to enjoy one of the famous duo’s lesser-known shows. Rose Valley Chorus and Orchestra brings together talented local singers, actors, and musicians to delight audiences with this entertaining production.

In Gilbert and Sullivan's ultimate collaboration, a troupe of actors conspires to overthrow the unpopular and miserly Grand Duke. Things go awry when their plot is accidentally revealed, prompting a series of disputes and political successions settled by "statutory" duel—an ingenious law that renders the legal death of the adversary who draws the lowest from a deck of cards. Hilarious entanglements, including thwarted marriages and questionable legal contracts, imbue this topsy-turvy comic opera with a wit and charm that only Gilbert and Sullivan can contrive. Never fear, a lawyer solves the problem and all ends happily.

All performances are at Strath Haven Middle School, 200 S. Providence Road, Wallingford, PA 19086. This run includes two matinees on Saturdays, October 31 and November 7 at2 p.m. and one Saturday evening performance November 7 at 7:30 p.m.; Sundays, November 1 and November 8 at 2 p.m.; and Wednesday, November 4 at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are general admission and good for any performance. Online tickets can be purchased at <a href="https://www.rvco.org/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">http://www.rvco.org/</a>. Cash, checks, and online payments are also available at the door.
