Music by Arthur Sullivan & libretto by W. S. Gilbert.

The Gondoliers (or the King of Barataria) premiered at the Savoy Theatre on 7 December 1889 and ran for a very successful 554 performances (at that time the fifth longest-running piece of musical theatre in history, closing on 30 June 1891) and was Gilbert and Sullivan’s last great success.

The story is about a young bride who arrives in Venice to join her husband, the heir to the throne of Barataria. From there the plot twists are numerous, providing Gilbert plenty of opportunity to employ his satirical wit.
