Background: This audio-biography of sets out to explain the timeless popularity of the operettas of Gilbert and Sullivan: a colourful partnership that formed two of the most successful writers in the history of light music. While each was a master of his craft, it was their combination that created magic sparks and guaranteed a place in musical history.

It highlights Gilbert's mastery of language - his wit, his turn of phrase, his brilliant lyrics (alternately very funny and deeply moving) - and the special melodic gift which enabled Arthur Sullivan to write music of such beauty and style.
