Spoilers ahead
The backstage world of the Savoy Theatre in the early 1880s hums with tension and ambition as a new chapter unfolds around the Savoy operas. On the opening night of Princess Ida in January 1884, the ailing composer Sir Arthur Sullivan, weakened by kidney disease, barely reaches the stage to conduct before slipping away to the continent for rest. In his absence, the summer heat and dwindling audiences gnaw at ticket sales, and producer Richard D’Oyly Carte turns to the team of Sullivan and dramatist W. S. Gilbert to conjure a fresh work for the Savoy. When Ida closes without a ready successor, Carte revives an earlier Gilbert and Sullivan collaboration, The Sorcerer, to keep the house lively.
