Cet opéra de Gilbert and Sullivan est défini dans la tour de Londres, au cours du XVIe siècle, et est la plus sombre et peut-être plus émotionnellement engageant, des opéras Savoy, se terminant avec un personnage principal-Hearted et deux missions très réticentes, plutôt que l'habituel de nombreux mariages. Le livret contient humour considérable, y compris beaucoup de calembour-laden fractionné, mais la satire de marque de commerce de Gilbert et de complications de l'intrigue envers sont remplacées par les nouvel ISBNdued en comparaison avec les autres opéras de G and S. / Chant/Vocal/Choeur
