About the Vocal Score of The Mikado by W. S. Gilbert & Arthur Sullivan sheet music book

Description

Vocal Score for the very popular The Mikado opera by Arthur Sullivan and W. S. Gilbert. This is the ninth of their fourteen operatic collaborations.

The Mikado is a satire of late 19th century British institutions, society and politics. By setting the opera in a fantasy Japan, an exotic locale far away from contemporary Britain, Gilbert was able to satirise British politics more freely and soften the impact of his criticisms of British social institutions.

This vocal score is a vintage edition published circa 1934 according to the handwritten signature.

Published by Chappel and Co, c.1934. Hardback.

The book is in good condition showing clear signs of previous ownership. Blemishes to include:- joints cracked or partially broken; bumped corners / spine; marked or torn pages; inscriptions or library stamps; dust jacket chipped or torn with some loss. The back cover has small damage. The spine, and front and back cover are a wee bit yellowed due to the passing of the years.

This is a pre-owned, donated book.
