ANGELA: AN INVERTED LOVE STORY by W.S. GILBERT

14 Aug 2025

Description

  Hello, dear listeners, Gizelle Erickson here, eager to be your companion as we once again open a window to the fascinating world of the Gilded Age, transforming your everyday moments into an engaging escape.  Our next offering, William Schwenk Gilbert's poignant classic, 'Angela: An Inverted Love Story,' will transport you to the unique setting of 1890s Venice.  This isn't just a story; it's an immersive journey following a bedridden man whose only view of the world, and indeed of the young woman Angela, comes from her upside-down reflection in the canal.  As a tender courtship unfolds through nods and floating flowers, this tale offers a heartwarming yet insightful look into human relationships and the values of a different era.   Credits Narrated and Produced by Gizelle Erickson Executive Producer Jon Hagadorn Thanks to BackgroundMusicForVideos Music by Maksym Malko from Pixabay  "Italian Traditional Music" Thanks to freesound_community Sound Effect by freesound_community from Pixabay "Parked Gondolas" "Sound recording Venice" Sir William Schwenck Gilbert was an English dramatist, librettist, poet and illustrator best known for the fourteen comic operas (known as the Savoy operas) produced in collaboration with the composer Sir Arthur Sullivan.
