Further Information The Contrabandista is a charming piece written before Sullivan met Gilbert, in collaboration with F C Burnand, the librettist who gave us Cox and Box and later went on to become editor of Punch magazine. It tells the story of a group of Spanish brigands forced by tradition to accept the next stranger they meet as their Chief and wife to their queen.
