Gilbert and music by F. Osmond Carr. It was premiered under the management of George Edwardes at the Lyric Theatre in London on 27 October 1894, closing on 6 April 1895 after a run of 162 performances. It was also produced in New York at the Broadway Theatre on 14 October 1895 for a run of 88 performances, and in German translation at the Carltheater, Vienna, in both 1895 and 1897. The opera also enjoyed a British provincial tour. From the late 1870s through the 1880s, Gilbert wrote a series of successful comic operas, working almost exclusively with Arthur Sullivan. The Gilbert and Sullivan partnership dissolved for several years after the production of The Gondoliers (1889), because of a financial dispute, but in 1893 they were reunited with Utopia, Limited. Soon afterwards, Gilbert was ready with the scenario for a libretto that would become His Excellency, and which he hoped Sullivan would set to music.
