most productions have made cuts in the dialogue and often dropped verses and/or attempted some reorganization or rewriting. The 1976 D'Oyly Carte recording observed the original cuts in Act I, but restored the three deleted numbers from Act II. Recordings Until the D'Oyly Carte Opera Company recorded this opera in 1976, it was unfamiliar to most fans of Gilbert and Sullivan. While the 1976 recording has been well-received, the 1973 recording by UMGASS, though an amateur recording, including dialogue, is admired. The BBC had broadcast the opera with an excellent cast and including dialogue in 1966, but they have never released the recording. The 2012 professional production at the International Gilbert and Sullivan Festival was recorded on video.
