PAPERBACK, attractive copy, appears little used if at all. OREL, HAROLD, ed. . Gilbert and Sullivan: interviews and recollections. Iowa City: University of Iowa Press, 1994, xviii, 214pp., . Sir William Schwenk Gilbert and Sir Arthur Sullivan created fourteen comic operas--witty satires set to sparkling music--that instantly won a large and enthusiastic audience and remain immensely popular today. Their talents brought the two men together and their temperaments finally drove them apart. Here, in forty interviews and recollections, is a record of what was said about them during and shortly after their lifetimes by friends, musicians, theatrical managers, singers, actors, and actresses, journalists and authors. For Gilbert and Sullivan devotees everywhere, this entertaining collection will provide fresh insights into the careers and collaborative achievements of one of the most successful--and enduring--enterprises of Victorian theatre. 9780877454762 ISBN 0877454760.
