Utopia Limited was the first result of their renewed collaboration. the thirteenth in order of date, of the Gilbert and Sullivan operas. It Was a real success on its production and ran for about ten months. (Soloist, Sorgt. A. BETTINSON> )

Meditating on the love which he has declared for her, she repeats the melody of his song, and then, suddenly changing, as though doubtful whether so true an affection can come to one like her, she dashes into the brilliant' ever free shall I still hasten madly on from pleasure to pleasure.'
