"Sullivan & Co.: The Operas That Got Away" is a captivating collection of Arthur Sullivan's lesser-known operatic works, released in 1998 by JAY Records. This album offers a unique glimpse into the creative genius of the renowned composer, showcasing pieces that, for various reasons, never reached the same level of fame as his more celebrated collaborations with W.S. Gilbert. The album features a diverse array of tracks from several of Sullivan's operas, including "The Martyr of Antioch," "Ivanhoe," "Haddon Hall," "The Chieftain," "The Beauty Stone," "The Rose of Persia," and "The Emerald Isle." Each track is a testament to Sullivan's enduring talent and versatility, spanning a duration of 51 minutes. The recording, which cost £30,000 to produce, was a collaborative effort, with the Sir Arthur Sullivan Society raising half of the funds. This album is a treasure trove for opera enthusiasts and those eager to explore the depths of Arthur Sullivan's musical legacy.
