		The dramatic duo of Victorian London, playwright Sir William Schwenck Gilbert and composer Sir Arthur Sullivan, turned a theatrical corner with the creation of their wildly successful comic operas.
		These masterpieces of comic opera sparkle with sublime wit, and Gilbert and Sullivan’s incomparable, instantly recognizable tunes showcase the best of English humor -- highly satiric, dry, and teetering on the absurd.
		With opera companies, societies, and performance groups devoted solely to reviving the duo’s works, the lyrical beauty and bonhomie of Gilbert and Sullivan’s charmed collaboration seem destined to enchant audiences for years to come.

		Many of the scenes which people have called "tacked on" at the end (like the stunning scene between Gilbert and his wife Kitty) are in fact set up in the earlier parts of the film if you pay close attention and are in actuality a natural progression of these relationships.
		Even the very last scene when the leading lady sings is there to show us her identification with the song she is singing and therefore an indirect relationship with her lyricist and composer.

		The Duke of Plaza-Toro's instruction to the heirs to the throne of Barataria to preserve a demeanor "still sufficiently dignified" answers a criticism levelled at this series of Savoy Operas recorded under the direction of Sir Malcolm Sargent.
		Lacking dialogue, and using major British singers who never actually performed on stage in Gilbert and Sullivan, the presentation, especially of the first two of the series to appear, was considered too sedate.
		Sullivan's music deserves the attention of the major singers such as Richard Lewis in most of the leading tenor roles, and the Australian Elsie Morison in all the leading soprano roles.

		In Australia, Dennis Olsen is held in as high esteem as a G and S comedian as, say, John Reed is in the U.K. (Or as Ivan Menzies was to an earlier generation of Australian G and S fans.
		Menzies was principal comedian with the J. Williamson Gilbert and Sullivan Opera Co. for all of their Australasian tours between 1931 and 1951.)
		In fact Olsen was Reed's understudy, or deputy, during his tenure with the D'Oyly Carte on tour in 1970-71 and was touted to be his successor as principal comedian of the company during this period.
