the grand duke
after "the grand duke", the partners saw no reason to work together again. a last unpleasant misunderstanding occurred in 1898. at the premiere of sullivan’s opera "the beauty stone" on 28 may, gilbert arrived at the savoy theatre with friends, assuming that sullivan had reserved some seats for him. instead, he was informed that sullivan objected to his presence. the composer later denied that this was true. the last time they met was at the savoy theatre on 17 november 1898 at the celebration of the 21st anniversary of the first performance of "the sorcerer". they did not speak to each other. sullivan, by this time in exceedingly poor health, died in 1900, although to the end he continued to write new comic operas for the savoy with other librettists, most successfully with basil hood in "the rose of persia" (1899). gilbert also wrote several works, some with other collaborators, in the 1890s. by the time of sullivan's death in 1900, gilbert wrote that any memory of their rift had been "completely bridged over," and "the most cordial relations existed between us." he stated that "sullivan ... because he was a composer of the rarest genius, was as modest and as unassuming as a neophyte should be, but seldom is...i remember all that he has done for me in allowing his genius to shed some of its lustre upon my humble name."
