Following his earlier appearance this season conducting the music of Delius, Elgar and Holst (Prom 12), Sir Charles Mackerras returns as one of our greatest living exponents of G&S and, in the wake of conducting HMS Pinafore in 2005, he now presides over a specially created semi-staging of the 1881 operetta in which Gilbert took a swipe at the then fashionable Aesthetic movement and its artistic figurehead, Oscar Wilde.
