Description Also known as 'The Peer and the Peri'. A fairy opera in 2 acts set in an Arcadian Landscape/Palace Yard, Westminster; between 1700 and 1882.

Synopsis: Twenty-five years after her banishment from Fairyland for marrying a mortal, a crime usually punishable by death, Iolanthe has been pardoned. She had a son by this illicit marriage, Strephon, who is, therefore, half mortal and half fairy. He is in love with Phyllis whom he is determined to marry. However, in order to do so he needs the consent of her guardian, the Lord Chancellor, who shows little enthusiasm for the idea of his ward marrying
