Biographical / Historical

The fourteen comic operas of Gilbert and Sullivan were originally produced between 1871 and 1896 inLondon. They were immediately successful throughout England and were equally popular in Americaand throughout the English speaking world. They are considered masterpieces of the Victorian age andare still performed regularly and widely appreciated. In this country, the best known of their works areThe Mikado, H.M.S. Pinafore and The Pirates of Penzance.

By the time Gilbert and Sullivan first collaborated, each was already well known to the British public.W.S. Gilbert (1836-1911) was known as a writer and artist for comic periodicals, and his early theatricalpieces were successes. He was the pre-eminent dramatist of the 1870's at the same time he began hiscollaboration with Sullivan. Arthur Sullivan (1842-1900) was already a well-known musician by the timehe met Gilbert. His musical gifts were established early, and he had already composed popular drawingroom songs as well as religious anthems, orchestral compositions and choral music.

The collaboration of W.S. Gilbert and Arthur Sullivan was made possible by their third "partner",manager and impresario, Richard D'Oyly Carte 1844-1900) who brought them together in 1875 andcontracted with them to write their comic operas until their final work together in 1896. Carte set highproduction standards and, in 1881, he built the Savoy Theatre in London expressly for their operas. TheSavoy would henceforth be associated with Gilbert and Sullivan and their operas would be known as the


- -

Savoy Operas. D'Oyly Carte's Opera Company continued to regularly perform these works until 1982.The D'Oyly Carte productions were considered traditional as they carried on much of the original stagingas directed by Gilbert. Gilbert and Sullivan operas remained under copyright until 1961. Since that year,directors have adapted their work in more innovative and conceptual productions.
