Iolanthe is a comic opera written by William S. Gilbert and composed by Arthur Sullivan. The story is set in the realm of Fairyland and follows the love story between Iolanthe, a fairy, and Strephon, a half-fairy, half-mortal shepherd. Their love is complicated by the interference of the Lord Chancellor and the House of Lords, who object to their union. The plot is filled with political satire and social commentary, as well as witty dialogue and memorable songs such as When I Went to the Bar and None Shall Part Us. The opera was first performed in London in 1882 and has since become a beloved classic of the genre.THIS 50 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Original Plays by W. S. Gilbert, by William S.
