The Story of the Savoy Opera: In Gilbert and Sullivan Days is a book written by S.J. Adair Fitz-Gerald. It provides a comprehensive account of the history and development of the Savoy Opera, a genre of comic opera that emerged in the late 19th century in London. The book focuses on the partnership between the librettist W.S. Gilbert and the composer Arthur Sullivan, who together created some of the most popular and enduring works of the Savoy Opera, including H.M.S. Pinafore, The Pirates of Penzance, and The Mikado. Fitz-Gerald's book delves into the creative process behind these operas, exploring the themes, characters, and music that made them so successful. He also examines the social and cultural context in which these works were produced, discussing the role of the Savoy Theatre and the impact of the Victorian era on the development of the genre. The Story of the Savoy Opera: In Gilbert and Sullivan Days is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of opera, theatre, or Victorian culture. It provides a detailed and engaging account of one of the most important and influential periods in the development of the English-language operatic tradition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
