High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Mock Turtles is a one-act comic opera with a libretto by Frank Desprez and music by Joseph Eaton Faning. It was first produced at the Savoy Theatre on 15 (or 17, accounts differ) November 1881 to 22 November 1882 as a curtain raiser to Patience, then from 26 November 1882 to 30 March 1883 with Iolanthe. The piece also toured from December 1881 through 1882. It also toured in 1883 and 1884. A vocal score was published by Chappells, in 1882, which contains full dialogue as well as music. A copy is in the British Library. The libretto to Mock Turtles was republished by The Gaiety journal in September 2001. The fashion in the late Victorian era was to present long evenings in the theatre, and so producer Richard D'Oyly Carte preceded the savoy operas with curtain raisers.
