a beautifully produced door-stopper of a book. (Times Literary Supplement )

Just when you thought you knew everything there was to know about G&S here comes another book with even more information to swell the cards of Trivial Pursuit. (Musical Opinion )

superbly edited by Ian Bradley with a succinct but informative introduction to each opera and copiously detailed notes explaining away the wildest fancies of Gilbert's wide-ranging erudition. (Classical Music )

5.0 out of 5 stars A must have for all G&S fans, 16 Nov 2001
By CHRIS BAILWARD (Templecombe, Somerset United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This is the single most important book in the library of a Gilbert and Sullivan lover. It contains the entire text of the 14 Savoy operas as now generally performed on the right hand page whilst on the left hand page Ian Bradley has noted explanations of words and phrases and also includes the words of many songs and sections of libretto that were cut from the repertoire by Gilbert. The book is well researched and full of useful information.

No Gilbert & Sullivan fan should be without it.

5.0 out of 5 stars An essential guide to the Savoy Operettas, 18 Feb 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: The Complete Annotated Gilbert and Sullivan (Hardcover)
This book brings together Bradleys two previous sets of annotated notes and adds the details for Utopia Limited and The Grand Duke. Anyone who has an interest in the Savoy Operas will appreciate this book as it gives a great insight into some of the language and phrases in the libretto. It also gives a lot of useful background into the thirteen operettas and has regular references to Thespis, the lost show. As a regular performer and director of G& S shows I use this book constantly to answer questions and to understand the reason why they are as they are.

5.0 out of 5 stars Pure, ecstatic joy for any G&S fan, A MUST BUY!, 22 Feb 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: The Complete Annotated Gilbert and Sullivan (Hardcover)
Ian Bradley at his best, accurately researched, beautifully written and excitedly well executed. I cannot think of a more suitable author for such a mammoth task. In this ode to all things Gilbert and Sullivan, Ian Bradley shines. What a vast wealth of anecdotes, parodies and previously unknown information; beautiful edited by the well-known and much loved Gilbert and Sullivan expert Ian Bradley. With his wit, knowledge and passion for the subject Bradley takes us through every comic operetta ever to be created by the famous pair.

A full, completed picture of Victorian Musical theatre. A must buy for any G&S fan, young or old. Ideal as a gift -true value for money!
