The Zoo by Sir Arthur Sullivan

About

In 1875, three months after writing the sensationally successful one act opera, Trial by Jury, Sullivan wrote another one-acter, The Zoo, with Bolton Rowe as librettist. A farcical story concerns two pairs of lovers: one involving a nobleman, who goes to the zoo to woo the girl who sells snacks there and tries to impress her by buying and eating all of the food. And another couple involving a young chemist who believes that he has poisoned his beloved by mixing up her father’s prescription with peppermint that he had meant for her. A light-hearted tale elevated with sprightly, charming music from the hand of the composer described by WS Gilbert himself as “incomparably, the most accomplished English musician of his age”. The stage was ripe for the remarkable successes struck by these two icons over the following twenty years. This production is conceived and managed by long-term Co-Opera artist, Deborah Johnson.
