or The Peer and the Peri (November 25, 1882; Savoy Theatre, 400
performances)
|
|
Strephon, an Arcadian shepherd, wants to marry Phyllis, a ward in
chancery. Strephon, however, is half fairy -- down to the waist. His
mother, Iolanthe, pleads his cause. Very well known overture, and
beautiful music throughout.
