by Thomas F. Dunhill (Author)
Sullivan's Comic Operas: A Critical Appreciation is a book written by Thomas F. Dunhill that provides a comprehensive analysis of the comic operas composed by Arthur Sullivan. The book is a critical appreciation of Sullivan's works, exploring his creative process, musical style, and the cultural context in which he worked. The book is divided into several chapters, each of which covers a different aspect of Sullivan's career. The first chapter provides an introduction to Sullivan's life and work, while the second chapter explores his collaborations with W.S. Gilbert, the librettist with whom he created some of his most famous works. Subsequent chapters delve into specific operas, including The Sorcerer, H.M.S. Pinafore, The Pirates of Penzance, and The Mikado. Each chapter provides a detailed analysis of the opera's plot, characters, and music, as well as its critical reception and historical significance. Throughout the book, Dunhill emphasizes Sullivan's contributions to the development of the comic opera genre, highlighting his use of musical parody, his mastery of ensemble writing, and his skill in creating memorable melodies. Overall, Sullivan's Comic Operas: A Critical Appreciation is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of musical theater, the works of Arthur Sullivan, or the development of British culture in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.1928.
