The last opera to be written together by W.S. Gilbert and Arthur Sulllivan was "The Grand Duke, or The Statutory Duel." The complex plot about a troupe of players deposing the stingy Grand Duke of Pfennig-Halbpfennig (a fictional central European country) was written in 1896. It's plot is repetitive, with two songs provided to explain each of several plot developments. Sullivan's music is slightly reminescent of the style later associated with Viennese light opera, as his work was changing to reflect changing times and tastes.
