Gondoliers First Performed 1889
|
|
or The King of Barataria (December 7, 1889; Savoy Theatre; 554
performances)
|
|
One of two just-married gondoliers is the King of
Barataria, but no
one knows which one. As Barataria needs a king to put down unrest in the
country, they travel there to reign jointly, leaving their wives behind.
A fine romp, with lots of bright music and dancing.
