And to the point, Sullivan was often deliberately parodying/borrowing from operatic styles of the time. So if you know what his source was, you're that much more in on the joke.
Agreed, as well as the Sturm und Drang of 19th century popular theater with its banditti, naval heroism and gothic ruins. G&S might have done a lot to bury many of those tropes through parody. |
