Sir Arthur Sullivan wrote his light opera Haddon Hall when he was at the height of his considerable creative powers. Despite his intention to turn away from writing \"lighter\" works so that he could concentrate on more serious fare, Sullivan's love of the good-life forced his return to the rather more lucrative stage of the Savoy Theatre, and the world of comic opera. Sydney Grundy presented him with a libretto based on an actual historical incident, namely the elopement of Dorothy Vernon, with her lover John Manners, from Haddon Hall, her ancestral home. The opera was completed and presented at the Savoy Theatre on 24th September 1892. The reception to Sullivan's music (though not the libretto!) was ecstatic. Bernard Shaw thought Haddon Hall to be the very best of the Savoy Operas, and for a while the piece beat even the Mikado in box office receipts. We hope that, after hearing this new recording, you will agree that Haddon Hall is an unjustly neglected work of great charm, fully worthy of Britain's most famous composer of the 19th century, Sir Arthur Sullivan.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYe Stately Homes Of England (--)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eToday It Is A Festal Time\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eT'was A Dear Little Dormouse (-)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHail To The Lord Of Haddon (----)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhen The Budding Blooms Of May (-)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNay Father Dear (--)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMother Dearest Mother (---)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRibbons To Sell (-)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Sun's In The Sky (--)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMy Mistress Comes (--)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOh Tell Me What Is A Maid To Say (--)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRed Of The Rosebud (--)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDown With Princes: Entrance Of Puritans\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI've Heard It Said (--)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Bonny Bridegroom Cometh (----)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhen I Was But A Little Lad (-----)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHail, Cousin Rupert (--)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhen Yestereve I Went To Pray (--)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFather, Forgive!
