After Dinner Toast at Little Menlo

Arthur Sullivan

1842–1900

Best known for the sparkling comic operas created with W. S. Gilbert, he also wrote orchestral, choral, and ceremonial music that made him one of Victorian Britain's most admired composers. His melodies helped shape works like H.M.S. Pinafore, The Pirates of Penzance, and The Mikado, which still delight audiences today.
