The Grand Duke Or The Statutory Duel is a comedic operetta written by William S. Gilbert, one half of the famous Gilbert and Sullivan duo. The story follows a group of actors who attempt to overthrow the ruling Grand Duke of Pfennig-Halbpfennig, but accidentally end up making him more popular than ever. The plot involves mistaken identities, love triangles, and a bizarre law that requires anyone who wants to challenge the Grand Duke to a duel to first obtain a government permit. The operetta premiered in 1896 and was the last collaboration between Gilbert and Sullivan.THIS 36 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: The Works of Sir William Gilbert and Sir Arthur Sullivan, by William S.
