Free Music Notes for Gilbert & Sullivan: Princess Ida
Free Music Review: Friendly satire and inadvertent prophecy
Hit: 5 Stars
As early as the Renaissance some women had dreamed of having a university their own, and in the late 17th century an Englishwoman, Mary Astell, imagined a utopian feminine retreat where women could get educated. Gilbert and Sullivan's Victorian "Princess Ida" is not a feminist dream and it would be silly to demand that it be politically correct, but for anyone like myself who teaches in an all-woman college (Barnard) this send-up of female higher education has historical interest as well as some good friendly satire--and, as one would expect from G&S, some lovely as well as witty songs. Not great G&S, but lots of fun, and if the work is pretty sexist, then one of the paradoxical pleasures it offers is the thought that "go ahead and laugh, but we did it." I had given my copy to my daughter and was thrilled to replace it. Anne Lake Prescott
