A note on terminology
Gilbert, Sullivan, Carte and other Victorian era British composers and librettists, as well as the contemporary British press and literature, called works of the sort that Gilbert and Sullivan produced "comic operas" to distinguish them from the continental European operettas that they wished to displace. Most of the specialist literature on Gilbert and Sullivan since that time has referred to these works as "operas" (e.g., Jacobs, Preface), though some later general books on music prefer "operetta". For a discussion of this, see Kuykendall, James Brooks. "Recitative in the Savoy Operas", The Musical Quarterly, Vol. 95, Issue 4, pp. 549–612. The Gilbert and Sullivan WikiProject has used the term "opera" consistently throughout the G&S-related articles within its scope.

A fact from National Gilbert & Sullivan Opera Company appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 30 June 2014 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that according to one reviewer, the productions of the Gilbert & Sullivan Opera Company "can match a West End show"?
