Gilbert and Sullivan - Princess Ida - Act Three (BBC, 1989)

[@constantquestioning4010]

Such a wonderful piece! A delightfully parody of Shakespeare 👏👏👏

"This helmet I suppose" always makes me chuckle. It was one of only two mock-Handelian numbers Sullivan wrote in his comic operas, at least that I can think of.

[@wurlitzer895]

It always struck me as being more Arne than Handel, but whatever, it's simply wonderful music. And of that there is no manner of doubt, no probable possible shadow of doubt, no possible doubt whatever!!!! All good wishes, Peter A :) :) :)
