On April 11, 2025, members of the Light Opera Theatre of Sacramento will present an eclectic program of vocal works of Gilbert & Sullivan favorites from The Gondoliers, The Mikado, Patience and Iolanthe, along with the West-Coast Premiere of two powerful contemporary songs for soprano, cello and piano by Chickasaw composer Jerod Impichchaachaaha‘ Tate. These songs are based on contemporary indigenous women’s narratives, one of a family doctor serving the Navajo Nation during the Covid-19 pandemic, and the other by a Chickasaw astronaut who has been chosen by Nasa to be the first human on Mars.
