Trial By Jury - Paperback

by William S. Gilbert (Author)

Trial By Jury is a comic opera written by William S. Gilbert, with music composed by Arthur Sullivan. The story revolves around a trial in which a jilted bride sues her former fianc����� for breach of promise. The judge, jury, and lawyers are all caricatures of the legal system, and the opera pokes fun at the absurdity of the court proceedings. The music is light and cheerful, with catchy tunes and witty lyrics. Trial By Jury was first performed in 1875 and quickly became a popular hit. It is still performed today and is considered a classic of the comic opera genre. This book likely contains the libretto of the opera, along with some additional information about its history and context.THIS 26 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Original Plays by W. S.
