Music
Soon after the first performance of 'Iolanthe' in 1882, some of the music (including the song 'De Belville was regarded as the Crichton of his age') was cut and later lost. Mike Harris has re-set Gilbert's words to music from Sullivan's opera "The Beauty Stone" (1898) and this unique arrangement can be heard in Act II of our production.
