Delphi Complete Works of Gilbert and Sullivan (Illustrated)

Delphi Complete Works of Gilbert and Sullivan (Illustrated) (Delphi Series Eight Book 7)

The Victorian theatrical partnership of the librettist W. S. Gilbert and composer Arthur Sullivan produced fourteen comic operas that would exact a major influence on the history of theatre. Such popular classics as â€˜H.M.S. Pinaforeâ€™, â€˜The Pirates of Penzanceâ€™ and â€˜The Mikadoâ€™ conjured fanciful "topsy-turvy" worlds, where absurd premises are taken to a logical conclusion. Notable for their humour and pathos, these celebrated operas enjoyed an enduring international success and are still performed frequently throughout the English-speaking world. For the first time in digital publishing, this comprehensive eBook presents Gilbertâ€™s complete extant works, with numerous illustrations, rare texts, informative introductions and the usual Delphi bonus material.
