No musical partnership has enjoyed greater success during its time
span, or bequeathed a more powerful and enduring legacy, than that
of Gilbert and Sullivan in the later nineteenth century. Even
before their first successful collaboration in 1875, both William
Schwenk Gilbert (1836-1911) and Arthur Seymour Sullivan (1842-1900)
had already forged considerable reputations for themselves.
Thereafter, between 1877 and 1896, Gilbert wrote the librettos, and
Sullivan the music, for no fewer than a dozen Savoy operas, among
them the still regularly performed 'H.M.S. Pinafore' (1878), 'The
Pirates of Penzance' (1879), 'Iolanthe' (1882), 'The Mikado'
(1885), 'The Yeomen of the Guard' (1888) and 'The Gondoliers'
(1889). Not only are the plots ingenious, the lyrics witty and the
music compelling, the operas also present modern audiences with
splendidly rich and satirical evocations of Victorian England and
its society: the prime subject matter of this book!
