The most popular Gilbert and Sullivan opera, and arguably the most popular opera ever written. The plot is a piece of political satire set in Japan, with love triangles thrown in. They also used characters such as Poo Bah, whose title is the ‘Lord High Everything Else’, to poke fun at the British political system. Intertwined with this is a love story, with all of the ridiculous drama and fun that we love about the Savoy operas.
