Artistic Director Laurence Cox says, “I am incredibly excited to be able to bring one of our productions into downtown Portland for the first time, and would like to thank the team at Portland5, who have been very welcoming and encouraging of us. I am also thrilled to be able to return to HART after our hugely successful run of H.M.S. Pinafore there last summer!”

Iolanthe is directed by Light Opera of Portland’s Artistic Director Laurence Cox, with Music Director Reece Sauve, and Producer Sara Rivara.
