- Reason
- There's maybe one or two more Royal Gallery of Illustration operettas of note that posters are available for,[1] but this is to some extent the end of the set. This one is for a work by W. S. Gilbert and Thomas German Reed which is still revived occasionally; indeed, I actually performed in it back in 2017 or so. The poster gets reproduced in Gilbert biographies a lot as well, and the plot is rather fun, albeit with a couple bits we decided to cut as they hadn't aged well.
By the by, if this passes,and the Iolanthe one lower down this page does tooPassed., by my count this'll be 599 FPs. I'm planning a more labour-intensive one for #600. (I also have one backup prepared for if Iolanthe doesn't pass, because I plan these things way too much.)
- ^ Balfe's The Sleeping Queen gets occasional performances still, and Tom Taylor's The Family Legend is at least discussed in books I've read (mainly for having inspired Ages Ago and thus Ruddigore, but, y'know. That might be as much because a lot of the books I read about it in were specifically on W. S. Gilbert, who I helped raise to Featured Article well enough that I don't think it's ever been challenged.) But I digress.
