Trial By Jury - Mackerras (1995) - G&S

Hastily conceived as a one-act filler for an evening's entertainment with Offenbach's 'La Périchole', 'Trial By Jury' quickly established itself as the real hit of the production. Although this was not Gilbert & Sullivan's first collaboration, it was the work that established the partnership for good.

The first performance of Trial By Jury was on March 25th, 1875.
