This week, we explore the man behind the music, Sir Arthur Sullivan. While history remembers him as half of the legendary duo Gilbert and Sullivan, the composer himself felt trapped by his own comedic genius. We uncover the "serious artist" who yearned to write grand operas while being celebrated for H.M.S. Pinafore. From his scandalous secret love affairs to the infamous "Carpet Quarrel" that shattered one of theatre's greatest partnerships, discover the complex life of a man whose cheerful music often hid a world of personal turmoil and artistic frustration.
