I know Iolanthe very well, just listened to the Royston Nash 1972 D’oyly Carte version a couple of days ago.

Princess Ida is another favorite.

I love the much overlooked PRINCESS IDA and Gilbert's poking at the womens' libbers of the day...which he did in other operettas as well.

"Ida was a 12 month old, twenty years ago, I was twice her age, I'm told, twenty years ago....

LOL..now I'll have that song running through mu head all night.
