(The Merryman and his Maid) a savoy opera in 2 acts , music by Sullivan and libretto by Gilbert, premiered at the Savoy Theater, London, on October 3, 1888, and ran for 423 performances.
The opera is set in the Tower of London, during the 16th century, and is the darkest, and perphas most emotionally engaging, of the savoy operas, ending with a broken-hearted main character and two very reluctant engagements.
