    Von der hinteren Coverseite

    Complete with illustrations by W.S. Gilbert and a preface by the late music critic Deems Taylor, The Complete Gilbert & Sullivan captures and celebrates the whimsy, the brilliance and the timelessness of some of the best musical theater ever written. Arthur Sullivan and William Gilbert were gifted individuals who combined their talents to bring about one of the greatest creative teams in history - they produced fourteen light operas in all, which continue to delight audiences the world over.

    The Pirates Of Penzance

    "I am the very model of a modern Major-General,

    I've information vegetable, animal & mineral,

    I know the kings of England, and I quote the fights historical,

    From Marathon to Waterloo, in order categorical;"

    The Mikado

    "Three little maids from school are we,

    Pert as a school-girl well can be,

    Filled to the brim with girlish glee,

    Three little maids from school!"

    H.M.S. Pinafore

    "Never mind the why and wherefore,

    Love can level ranks, and therefore

    I admit the jurisdiction;

    Ably you have played your part;

    You have carried firm conviction

    To my hesitating heart."

    And 11 others....

    Aus dem Klappentext

    In an age where television and movies seem to be taking over popular culture, the sardonic, playful, intelligent, works of Gibert & Sullivan are a refreshing escape.

    The combination of Arthur Sullivan - child prodigy turned noted composer - and William Gilbert - whose career in the military and stint as a barrister predated his true calling as a crafter of caustic wit and dramatic criticism - takes its place in musical theater history alongside creative teams such as Richard Rodgers & Oscar Hammerstein, George & Ira Gershwin and Leonard Bernstein & Stephen Sondheim. These timeless mainstays of the stage can be found everywhere, from high school auditoriums to professional G&S companies all over the world; now the complete works, including a preface by the famed music critic Deems Taylor and charming illustrations by William Gilbert, are collected here in one volume. Find your favorite passages in classics such as The Mikado, Pirates of Penzance, Ruddigore and H.M.S. Pinafore. Or, discover and explore lesser known works: Ida; Utopia, Limited; The Yeoman of the Guard and Iolanthe.
