The composer Arthur Sullivan and the dramatist W. S. Gilbert joined forces in 1871, and over the next 25 years produced a series of 14 comic operas. Sullivan's tuneful and memorable melodies and Gilbert's amusing words and dialogue - which frequently made fun of British national characteristics and institutions such as the Royal Navy - are as fresh and amusing today as they were over a hundred years ago. Songs vary immensely in style, and apart from the clearly comical include others, such as 'The flowers that bloom in the spring', that though at first suggesting seriousness, on close examination reveal deliberately ludicrous words and ridiculous sentiments - all to the delight of the audience!

Three Little Maids from School (from The Mikado') - The Sun, Whose Rays (from The Mikado') - The Flowers that Bloom in the Spring (from The Mikado') - Take a Pair of Sparkling Eyes (from The Gondoliers') - Dance a Cachucha (from The Gondoliers') - When Maiden Loves (from The Yeomen of the Guard') - Little Buttercup (from H.M.S. Pinafore') - Poor Wand'ring One (from The Pirates of Penzance') - The Policeman's Song (from The Pirates of Penzance') - Happy Young Heart (from The Sorcerer') - For Love Alone (from The Sorcerer') - To a Garden Full of Posies (from Ruddigore') - Silvered is the Raven Hair (from Patience') - Broken Every Promise Plighted (from The Grand Duke') - The Sentry's Song (from Iolanthe') - Oh, Foolish Fay (from Iolanthe') - When But a Maid of Fifteen Year (from Utopia Limited') - Such a Disagreeable Man (from Princess Ida') - We Sail the Ocean Blue (from H.M.S. Pinafore') - If Somebody There Chanced to Be (from Ruddigore')

Le compositeur Arthur Sullivan et le dramaturge W.S. Gilbert commencèrent leur collaboration en 1871 et produisirent pendant les 25 années suivantes une série de 14 opéras comiques. Les mélodies séduisantes de Sullivan de même que les textes et dialogues amusants de Gilbert - les deux ridiculisaient volontiers les particularités britanniques dont les institutions comme la Royal Navy - sont aussi frais et drôles qu'il y a plus de cent ans. Les chansons ont des styles très différents et à part celles d'un comique évident, il y en a d'autres qui, même si elles suggèrent plus de sérieux à la première écoute, révèlent finalement des mots et sentiments absurdes - pour le plus grand plaisir du public !
