Music by Sir Arthur Sullivan
Libretto by Bolton Rowe (B.C. Stephenson)
BOSTON PREMIERE
This “musical folly” by famed composer Arthur Sullivan, in collaboration with librettist B.C. Stephenson, displays all the vivacity and agility of the golden age of British comic opera. Two pairs of lovers overcome obstacles to their affections, aided and abetted by running commentary from a chorus of Ladies and Gentlemen of the British Public.
Performed on a double bill with Walton’s The Bear.
“Wonderful…cleverly selected and splendidly presented program.”
