WHERE ARE GILBERT AND SULLIVAN?
Sir-I should like to know why Gilbert and Sullivan seem almost tabu by all stations. David Albow said in his letter published recently that "Wagner is the best thing that ever came out of Germany, much the same as Gilbert and SullivanShakespeare excepted-is the best that ever came out of England." That sentence, in my opinion, is one of the truest ever spoken. Well, since complaint has been made, we are hearing more of Germany’s master of music, and now let us prove that England can produce men as great in their own way. No better proof of this is to let the people of New Zealand hear the complete operas of Gilbert and
Sullivan.
