Description
Music man Vincent Young plays, sings, and discusses the upbeat music of Gilbert and Sullivan, who took theatergoers by storm in 1871 with the operetta Thespis, a mixture of political satire and parody of grand opera. Since then, their operas have enjoyed broad and enduring international success and are still performed frequently throughout the English-speaking world. Of their 14 comic operas, some of the best known are H.M.S. Pinafore, The Pirates of Penzance and The Mikado.
