Description
Written more than a century ago and initially regarded even by their creators as nothing more than light entertainment, the fourteen operas of Gilbert & Sullivan emerged over the course of the twentieth century as the world’s most popular body of musical-theater works, ranking second only to Shakespeare in the history of English-language theater.
