[edit]Princess Idais acomic operawith music byArthur Sullivanand alibrettobyW. S. Gilbert.It wasGilbert and Sullivan's eighth operatic collaboration, precedingThe Mikado.Princess Idaopened at theSavoy Theatrein 1884 and ran for 246 performances. Based on the narrative poemThe PrincessbyAlfred, Lord Tennyson,the opera concerns a princess who founds a women's university and teaches that women are superior to men and should rule in their stead. Prince Hilarion, to whom she had been betrothed, sneaks into the university, and a war erupts between the two sexes.Princess Idasatirizes feminism, women's education and Darwinian evolution, controversial topics in conservativeVictorian England.Princess Idawas only a modest success, and after its initial run, it was not revived in London until 1919. Nevertheless, the piece is performed regularly today by both professional and amateur companies. This watercolour-and-pencil-on-card image byC.
