W.S. Gilbert & Frederic Clay November 22, 1869 |
An operetta with music by Frederic Clay. This operetta was a great success, making Gilbert the most important playwright at the Gallery of Illustration. Features a picture gallery in an old castle, with ancestors stepping out of the picture frames. This idea was to appear again in the Gilbert and Sullivan opera Ruddigore.
