Revered as the most tragic and complex work of the Gilbert & Sullivan canon, The Yeomen of the Guard is one of the final collaborations between the legendary duo. Like their other operettas, The Yeomen of the Guard features topsy-turvy plot twists, a large, boisterous, and bumbling ensemble, and a trio of marriages. Unique to the Gilbert & Sullivan canon, however, Yeomen has a tragic, heartbreaking ending, a style that is, at times, more similar to grand opera than light operetta, and a haunting, rich score that is championed by many Gilbert & Sullivan aficionados as Sullivan's finest work.
