Original – Poster for the première run of The Lucky Star
Reason
While not often, if ever, performed nowadays, Gilbert and Sullivan have assured that the history of the D'Oyly Carte Opera Company is of sufficiently massive academic interest that pretty much anything put on by them is the subject of heavy discussion. This is one of the operas that marks the transition between comic opera and musical comedy - it's the only Savoy Opera that has a male role played by a woman, for instance. I think the art's nice, albeit a lot of it is that striking shape looming out of the colour.
