A Dictionary of Music and Musicians/Trial by Jury

TRIAL BY JURY. A very extravagant extravaganza; words by W. S. Gilbert, music by Arthur Sullivan. Produced at the Royalty Theatre, London, March 25, 1875. It owes its great success to the remarkable drollery of words and music, the English character of the institution caricatured, and the great humour thrown into the part of the Judge by the composer's brother, Frederick, who died with a great career before him.
