Haddon Hall (opera)

Haddon Hall is an English light opera with music by Arthur Sullivan and a libretto by Sydney Grundy. The opera, set at the eponymous hall, dramatises the legend of Dorothy Vernon's elopement with John Manners, resetting the tale in the 17th century.

It premiered at the Savoy Theatre on 24 September 1892 for a modestly successful run of 204 performances, closing on 15 April 1893.^[1] The piece was popular with amateur theatre groups, particularly in Britain, up to the 1920s, but has been produced only sporadically since then.^[2] The National Gilbert & Sullivan Opera Company presented the opera in August 2018 in Buxton and Harrogate, England.^[3]
