Gilbert and Sullivan's sparkling comic opera comes to life in this superb production recorded at the Sydney Opera House in 1995, starring Christine Douglas, Heather Begg and Anthony Warlow. Aesthetic poet Bunthorne owns the hearts of every woman in his village. Just one problem: His heart belongs to a milkmaid named Patience -- who doesn't have feelings for him. Enter Grosvenor, a fellow poet who just happens to be Patience's childhood crush.
