  • The Gondoliers; or, The King of Barataria is a Savoy Opera, with music by Arthur Sullivan and libretto by W. S. Gilbert. It premiered at the Savoy Theatre on 7 December 1889 and ran for a very successful 554 performances (at that time the fifth longest-running piece of musical theatre in history), closing on 30 June 1891. This was the twelfth comic opera collaboration of fourteen between Gilbert and Sullivan. The story of the opera concerns the young bride of the heir to the throne of the fictional kingdom of Barataria who arrives in Venice to join her husband. It turns out, however, that he cannot be identified, since he was entrusted to the care of a drunken gondolier who mixed up the prince with his own son. To complicate matters, the King of Barataria has just been killed. The two young gondoliers must now jointly rule the kingdom until the nurse of the prince can be brought in to determine which of them is the rightful king. Moreover, when the young queen arrives to claim her husband, she finds that the two gondoliers have both recently married local girls. A last complicating factor is that she, herself, is in love with another man. The Gondoliers was Gilbert and Sullivan's last great success. In this opera, Gilbert returns to the satire of class distinctions figuring in many of his earlier librettos. The libretto also reflects Gilbert's fascination with the "Stock Company Act", highlighting the absurd convergence of natural persons and legal entities, which plays an even larger part in the next opera, Utopia Limited. As in several of their earlier operas, by setting the work comfortably far away from England, Gilbert was emboldened to direct sharper criticism at the nobility and the institution of the monarchy itself.

  • The Gondoliers o The King of Barataria, è una Savoy Opera, con musiche di Arthur Sullivan e libretto di W. S. Gilbert. Essa debuttò al Savoy Theatre il 7 dicembre 1889, e ando avanti con grande successo per ben 554 rappresentazioni (allora la quinta opera più rappresentata al debutto), terminò le rappresentazioni il 20 giugno 1891. Questa fu la dodicesima opera comica su di un totale di quattordici scritte da Gilbert e Sullivan. Il 20 settembre 1890 avviene la prima al Theater an der Wien. The Gondoliers fu l'ultimo grande successo del duo Gilbert e Sullivan. In quest'opera Gilbert ritorna alla satira sulle divisioni di classe nella società britannica, già viste nei primi libretti di Gilbert. Il libretto riflette inoltre il fascino che Gilbert nutre per l'Atto della Società della Scorta, accentuando la convergenza assurda fra persone ed entità legali che avranno un grande sviluppo nell'opera successiva, Utopia, Limited. Come in molte delle loro prime opere, mettendo il lavoro comodamente lontano da madre Inghilterra, Gilbert fu imbaldanzito nel dirigere la critica più acuta alla nobiltà e l'istituzione della monarchia stessa.

  • The Gondoliers; or, The King of Barataria är en Savoy opera (komisk operett) med musik av Arthur Sullivan och libretto av W. S. Gilbert. Den hade premiär på Savoy Theatre den 7 december 1889 och spelades framgångsrikt 554 gånger (på den tiden det femte längst spelade musikteaterverket i historien) tills den lades ned den 30 juni 1891. Verket var det tolfte av fjorton samarbeten mellan Gilbert och Sullivan. Handlingen rör sig kring den unga bruden till tronarvingen i det fiktiva kungadömet Barataria. Hon anländer till Venedig för att förenas med sin make. Det visar sig emellertid att han inte kan identifieras, då han som nyfödd blev uppfostrad av en berusad gondoljär som förväxlade prinsen med sin egen son. Till råga på allt har kungen av Barataria just blivit dödad. De två gondoljärerna måst nu gemensamt styra riket tills prinsens sköterska anländer och kan avgöra vilken av dem som är den rättmätige kungen. När den unga drottningen anländer upptäcker hon att de två gondoljärerna nyligen har gift sig med två vanliga flickor. För att ytterligare komplicera det hela så är drottningen i sin tur förälskad i en helt annan man. The Gondoliers blev Gilberts och Sullivans sista stora succé. I verket återupptar Gilbert metoden med att göra satir av klasskillnader såsom i många av hans tidigare libretton. Texten speglar också Gilberts fascination för "", (lagen som tillät bildandet av aktiebolag utan inblandning från parlamentet) vilket skulle spela en stor roll i handlingen till deras nästa operett Utopia Limited. Genom att förlägga handlingen långt bort från England kunde Gilbert utöva stark kritik mot överhögheten och monarkin. (sv)
