The Savoy Operas denote a style of comic opera that developed in Victorian England in the late 19th century, with W. S. Gilbert and Arthur Sullivan as the original and most successful practitioners. The name is derived from the Savoy Theatre. "Savoy Opera" as practically synonymous with Gilbert and Sullivan. The Savoy operas were seminal influences on the creation of the modern musical. The book contains all the text relating to the following pieces: Patience (1881) was the first opera to appear at the Savoy Theatre, and thus, in a strict sense, the first true "Savoy Opera", although the term "Savoy Opera" has, for over a century, included the complete set of thirteen operas that Gilbert and Sullivan wrote for Richard D'Oyly Carte: Trial by Jury (1875) The Sorcerer (1877) H.M.S. Pinafore, or The Lass that Loved a Sailor (1878) The Pirates of Penzance, or The Slave of Duty (1880) Patience, or Bunthorne's Bride (1881) Iolanthe, or The Peer and the Peri (1882) Princess Ida, or Castle Adamant (1884) The Mikado, or The Town of Titipu (1885) Ruddigore, or The Witch's Curse (1887) The Yeomen of the Guard, or The Merryman and his Maid (1888) The Gondoliers, or The King of Barataria (1889) Utopia, Limited, or The Flowers of Progress (1893) The Grand Duke, or The Statutory Duel (1896).
