Arthur Sullivan war ein englischer Komponist, der vor allem für seine Opern in Zusammenarbeit mit dem Dramatiker W. S. Gilbert berühmt ist. Diese Werke gelten als Höhepunkte der britischen Musikkomödie und verbinden gekonnt musikalischen Einfallsreichtum mit theatralischem Witz. Sein Schaffen beschränkte sich nicht nur auf die Bühne; Sullivan komponierte auch zahlreiche Kirchenlieder und Gesänge, die bis heute populär sind. Seine beeindruckende musikalische Bandbreite umfasst zudem große Orchesterwerke, Chormusik und Kammermusik, was seine Vielseitigkeit und Meisterschaft unterstreicht.
