Gilbert & Sullivan

Gilbert & Sullivan were a famous partnership in the late 19th century, known for creating witty and humorous comic operas. Sir William Gilbert wrote the witty librettos (scripts), while Sir Arthur Sullivan composed the memorable music. Together, they produced a series of popular stage works, such as *The Pirates of Penzance* and *The Mikado*, that combine clever satire, catchy melodies, and theatrical humor. Their collaborations are celebrated for their sharp wit, social commentary, and lasting influence on musical theater.
