| Description: Sir Arthur Sullivan wrote fourteen comic operas with librettist W. S. Gilbert, plus overtures, oratorios, cantatas, operettas and other incidental music. The Mikado was written in 1885 after a temperamental tantrum during which Sullivan swore that inspiration was lost and that he 'would never write another note.' Curiously, some consider Mikado to be one of his finest comic operas. |
