“Yeomen” is set in the Tower of London in the 16th Century. It is G & S’s most dramatic opera which has a believable story line with well-drawn characters. Intrigue, comedy and a “tragic” ending make up the dramatic plot. This opera contains Sullivan’s most profound and beautiful music. Being in English, it is easy to understand and to follow the story-line. All in all, it is a very fine example of English Romantic Opera.
