Were the Victorian era partnership of librettist Gilbert 1836-1911 and composer Sullivan 1842-1900. Together they wrote fourteen comic operas between 1871 and 1896. Possibly the best known are - H.M.S. Pinafore, The Pirates of Penzance, and The Mikado. WS Gilbert and Arthur Sullivan were an English dramatist and musician, respectively, of the late Victorian Era (late 1800s). Although they got along well during much of their collaboration, popular legend holds that they fought all the time. They produced 14 operettas, most of which were very popular when originally presented and several of which have endured as highly popular pieces for more than 100 years. They were also known for dying of getting old and one died when he was saving one of his students that was drowning , he saved her life but he ended up drowning. They wrote songs that came to there mind or what their friends thought of they did plays they thought was fun as well......
