(386) 736-7456
This comic opera set on the high seas was the first big hit by Gilbert and Sullivan. Imbued with mirth and silliness to spare, the plot revolves around a naval captain's daughter who is in love with a lower-class foremast hand (a common sailor, well below officer rank), even though her father intends her to marry the First Lord of the Admiralty, the cabinet minister in charge of the Royal Navy. A surprise twist changes everything in the end (And they all live happily ever after).

DeLand: Imagining Flora and Fauna: Oleda Baker, A Naive Painter
Friday, Jun. 12 – Sunday, Aug. 23, 2009
Opening Reception June 12, 2009 from 5:00pm – 7:00pm
DeLand, Museum of Florida Art
386-734-4371
Oleda Baker’s naive works evoke a dreamlike state. If one were to describe her paintings, one might say they were mysterious with the viewer having a sense of being part of the picture. At the very least, Oleda's creations do not leave the viewer’s emotions untouched. Her style is of soft edges and rounded shapes. Henry Rousseau comes to mind as her work is related historically to his style. She paints what she imagines, sometimes specific, most times surreal, but always from her feelings. One feels drawn in to the suggestion of a deeper narrative that seems to lurk within the decorative elements of these fine art fantasies.
