Ruddigore Or The Witch's Curse is a comic opera written by William S. Gilbert, with music composed by Arthur Sullivan. The story follows the Baronets of Ruddigore, who are cursed by a witch to commit a crime every day or face a terrible fate. The current Baronet, Sir Ruthven Murgatroyd, is in love with a village maiden, Rose Maybud, but is haunted by the ghosts of his ancestors who demand that he fulfill his curse. Meanwhile, Rose is pursued by the dashing sailor, Richard Dauntless, who is also hiding a dark secret. The opera is filled with witty dialogue, memorable songs, and a plot that twists and turns until the very end. It is a classic example of Gilbert and Sullivan's trademark style of satirical humor and social commentary.THIS 32 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: The Works of Sir William Gilbert and Sir Arthur Sullivan, by William S.
