A = Significantly abridged musically
C = Complete musically, dialog excluded
D = Complete musically, dialog included — the entire opera
+ = additional material included, see Discography for details
– = Overture not included, or dialog abridged
Many "complete" recordings exclude a song or verse often not performed
by D'Oyly Carte yet written and scored by G&S. A list of such songs
is documented in "Lost
and Seldom Recorded G&S".
Recordings originally made for 78 RPM or monophonic long play records
are excluded although many have been re-issued on CDs as historic recordings.
Click on specific opera name for details of these and other recordings.
Additional material for New D'Oyly Carte recordings of Iolanthe
and Gondoliers are only on TER (UK) and not on the Sony (US) brand
recordings.
Trial by Jury recordings are included with other operas as indicated.
Trial
by Jury has neither an overture nor spoken dialog — thus recordings
are the entire opera.
