About

Even Queen Victoria declared herself amused by The Gondoliers, a work of irresistibly sunny exuberance. As Gilbert wrote to Sullivan: “It gives one the chance of shining through the twentieth century [and beyond!] with a reflected light.” Though set in Venice, the operetta satirises both the snobbery and growing republicanism of 1880s Britain in a delicious imbroglio centred on two gondolier brothers who unexpectedly become joint rulers of the kingdom of Barataria.
