	Arthur Sullivan
		Gilbert wrote the more serious Yeomen to satisfy Sullivan's urge for grand opera, and while Sullivan was pacified for a time, in 1890 he broke away acrimoniously from Gilbert following the production of The Gondoliers and, with D'Oyly Carte, produced his only grand opera, Ivanhoe, at the new English Opera House.
		In 1886, Sullivan went some way to appeasing his critics by the production of the cantata The Golden Legend, which he and most of his contemporaries considered his masterpiece.
		Subsequently however he returned to work with Gilbert on two more operettas and wrote three more with other collaborators.

		"Sullivan wrote Ivanhoe, so to speak, with his lifeblood," we are informed by Herman Klein.

	The Prince Consort Haddon Hall
		The Consort recording of Ivanhoe was recently the subject of a brief thread on the Opera list.
		The one curious gap was Haddon Hall, which the Consort didn't record in the '80s because Pearl had already issued a recording by the Cheam Operatic Society.
		The opera came in for some heavy criticism, and some of those writing had heard it only from the Consort recording.

		Carte's operatic scheme did not gain the support it deserved, and in July of the following year the name of the house was changed to the Palace Theatre As a variety theatre it enjoys a high reputation - and no promenade

	Utopia Limited
		Written as a reconciliation between Gilbert and Sullivan after the three year rift following the infamous 'carpet quarrel', Sullivan in the interim had produced a Grand Romantic Opera, IVANHOE, and a Light Opera, HADDON HALL, and the darker, weightier mood of these two works seems to carry over into much of UTOPIA.
		UTOPIA has many great moments but this is probably the first time that a recording brings them all out.
		Utopia Limited (or The Flowers of Progress) recorded without dialogue (except for a few snatches in Act Two).

	WALTER SCOTT AND MUSIC Philip Scowcroft MusicWeb(UK)
		The Marmion overture of 1867 can still be heard today, while his Ivanhoe (1891) was an attempt to launch an opera house to be devoted to "serious" English opera.
		Kenilworth was at least twice turned into a ballet, in 1825, with music by one F Mirecki, and in 1831, in London, to a score by the Italian-born, English-domiciled Michael Costa.
		Though many had a go at adapting his novels for the stage (and Scott himself wrote some lyrics for Guy Mannering and, at George Thomson’s request, lyrics, eleven in all, fitted to national tunes and later set by Beethoven), the best Scott music was, by and large, composed to his own words.

	The Prince Consort Ivanhoe
		This recording, the latest and most ambitious of the Prince Consort's traversals of Sullivan's non-Gilbert operas, was greeted with great acclaim by the Sullivan community.
		Despite its limitations, this recording does provide a decent idea of what Ivanhoe is all about, and Sullivan fans will want to own it.
		At last, it seemed that the composer's only grand opera would receive the fair hearing it deserved.

		Last of deceased English opera-composers we name Sir Arthur Seymour Sullivan (1842-1900), who wrote one serious opera, "Ivanhoe" (1891), and a host of delightful works of slighter scope to which it is hard to give a class-name.
		One of the first Englishmen to write opera on the prevalent Italian model was Thomas Arne, whose chief work was "Artaxerxes." He also wrote many masques or plays with incidental music.
		They are not quite of the opera comique type, nor do they partake of the farcical nature of opera bouffe.
