Course Description

Instructor: Peter E. Campos, PhD

We will explore the wonderful world of Gilbert and Sullivan! Why were their operettas so popular in the 19th Century and why do they remain so today? Were these just playful early musicals, or profound social statements of the time? Who were Gilbert and Sullivan anyway? We will examine these questions, and more, as we look at this unlikely librettist and composer pair and their most enduring shows. Although we will look at the plots of all 14 plays, we will focus on Pinafore, Pirates, and Mikado. We’ll have fun trying out some of the more famous songs in class!
