Sullivan's 'Ruddigore' with Miller, Phillips, Waggoner, Burton and Zuniga from Norman

Arthur Sullivan's 'Ruddigore; or, The Witch's Curse' is a comic opera in two acts, with a libretto by W. S. Gilbert. In the town of Rederring, in Cornwall, a chorus of professional bridesmaids frets that there have been no weddings for the last six months. All of the eligible young men are hopeful of a union with Rose Maybud, the prettiest maiden in the village, yet they are too timid to approach her. The desperate bridesmaids ask Rose's aunt, Dame Hannah, if she would consider marrying, but she has vowed to remain eternally single. Many years previously, she had been betrothed to 'a god-like youth' who turned out to be Sir Roderic Murgatroyd, one of the bad baronets of Ruddigore.
