Choreographed by Carlo Coppi, the work was first performed at the Alhambra Theatre in 1897 to commemorate the 60th anniversary of Queen Victoria's accession to the throne. The premiere was a great success and ran for about six months, as it depicted the historical story of England from ancient times to the 19th century, and featured patriotic characters dancing in praise of the Queen. Unfortunately, Sullivan's original score has been lost, but this recording was made by Roderick Spencer of the Arthur Sullivan Society, using a full score reconstructed from Sullivan's own compilation of the suite and other works, piano scores, letters, and other documents. The conductor is Andrew Penny, who knows British music inside and out. The performance is full of joy.
