Abstract

I have endeavored in this thesis to create a greater appreciation for the artistic vales found in the Gilbert and Sullivan operettas. I have attempted to accomplish this by first presenting a background which consisted to the lives of the two great collaborators, Sir Gilbert and Sir Sullivan. My next step was to relate the stories of the operettas and interesting information concerning each. As a final step I took the important dramatic elements which should be contained in a good drama and showed how they were applied in developing the librettos.
