Trial by Jury
Gilbert & Sullivan
Fred Sullivan as The Learned Judge
Trial by Jury is a comic opera in one act, with music by Arthur Sullivan and libretto by William Gilbert. It was first produced on 25 March 1875, at London's Royalty Theatre, where it initially ran for 131 performances and was considered a great hit, receiving much critical praise.
The story concerns a "breach of promise of marriage" lawsuit in which the judge and legal system are the objects of lighthearted satire. It is quite short, only forty minutes, and contains no spoken dialogue. It is indeed a little gem of wit, sentiment and charm. The absurdities that can come from a breach of promise case, when the sensibilities of the jury and the judge are affected, was just the sort of subject to inspire Gilbert, and the libretto he produced in turn inspired Sullivan to write some of his most sparkling music.
The part of the judge in the first production was played by Fred Sullivan, the composer's brother.
