A note on terminology Gilbert, Sullivan, Carte and other Victorian era British composers and librettists, as well as the contemporary British press and literature, called works of the sort that Gilbert and Sullivan produced "comic operas" to distinguish them from the continental European operettas that they wished to displace. Most of the specialist literature on Gilbert and Sullivan since that time has referred to these works as "operas" (e.g., Jacobs, Preface), though some later general books on music prefer "operetta". For a discussion of this, see Kuykendall, James Brooks. "Recitative in the Savoy Operas", The Musical Quarterly, Vol. 95, Issue 4, pp. 549–612. The Gilbert and Sullivan WikiProject has used the term "opera" consistently throughout the G&S-related articles within its scope. |
The Follies of 1907[edit]
@Ssilvers I just added some interesting content to the article on The Follies of 1907, the very first Ziegfeld Follies. According to this this book one of the scenes lifted whole musical excerpts from Trial by Jury and featured a scene in which the tenor Enrico Caruso is put on trial for pinching a woman. The scene is also a parody of the whole Evelyn Nesbit affair, which was also a plot point of the musical Ragtime, because of the depiction of the lawyer William Travers Jerome in the scene. I think it would be worth a mention somewhere in this article, but I couldn't identify a likely place and didn't want to disrupt an FA article. Given your work on the article, I thought you might have an idea as to how and where to include the content. Best.4meter4 (talk) 13:51, 3 May 2023 (UTC)
