Excellent- More about Topsy Turvy World of Gilbert and Sullivan
Gilbert and Sullivan were a successful musical partnership in the late 19th century, writing 12 Savoy operas between 1877 and 1896. The operas are still regularly performed today and are known for their clever plots, witty lyrics, and compelling music. They also present modern audiences with rich and satirical evocations of Victorian England and its society.

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!
