Advantages: Not well known but is an important bridge in the historic cycle Disadvantages: Not well known and quite dated
...The operettas of Gilbert and Sullivan remain as popular now as they ever were when written over a century ago. In all, this most famous of musical collaborations produced fourteen operas. The most popular (“Iolanthe”, “Yeomen Of The Guard”, “TheMikado”, “The Gondoliers”, “Pirates of Penzance” and “HMSPinafore”) are quite timeless and their themes remain pointed.
It is not surprising that within such a catalogue, there will be some titles that have not stood the test of time so well. Here, in “Princess Ida”, is one – an opera that had a relatively short initial run, an opera relegated to the “rarely performed” list, an opera after which the partnership almost disappeared.
THE PLOT
The story revolves around two rival kingdoms – ruled by King Hildebrand and King Gama respectively. Twenty one years before Hildebrand’s son...

Advantages: The most popular, the most perfect, the most performed Disadvantages: None
...Gilbert, Sullivan, D’Oyly Carte! Three great names from the Victorian era of musical drama. The Gilbert and Sullivan operas remain as popular now as they ever were when written over a century ago. They stir the imagination of audiences and performers (professional and amateur) like no other in the dramatic canon. Depending on your definition there are fourteen titles in the catalogue in total (including the now lost “Thespis”). “TheMikado” is probably the most popular of the ‘big five’ (which also includes “HMSPinafore”, “The Gondoliers”, “Pirates of Penzance” and “Iolanthe”). Themes from any of these operas still have the effect of getting toes tapping and promoting whistling whenever they are played.
The name of D’Oyly Carte will be forever linked with Gilbert and Sullivan as will the Savoy Theatre in the Strand, London. We...

Advantages: Rousing, jolly, bristling with life and humour Disadvantages: None
...The operettas of Gilbert and Sullivan are much loved and treasured musical gems from a bygone era. They are as popular now as they ever were when written over a century ago - as can be seen by the clamour for tickets, the enthusiasm of audiences and the dedication of amateur societies in London, the provinces and around the world. “HMSPinafore” can be described as the first written of the more popular five (along with “TheMikado”, “The Gondoliers”, “Pirates of Penzance” and “Iolanthe”). Themes from these operas still have the effect of getting toes tapping and promoting whistling whenever they are played.
The name of D’Oyly Carte will be forever linked with Gilbert and Sullivan as will the Savoy Theatre in the Strand, London. We are fortunate that this National treasure is still available and that performances are still given within...
