S. Gilbert. It first premiered in London (1885) where its astounding success brought forth nearly 700 performances, making this the second longest run for a musical theatre work up to that time. Setting the opera in Japan, an exotic locale far away from Britain, allowed Gilbert to satirize British politics and institutions more freely by disguising them as Japanese. Gilbert used foreign or fictional locales in several operas, including  The Mikado ,  Princess Ida ,  The Gondoliers ,  Utopia ,  Limited  and  The Grand Duke , to soften the impact of his pointed satire of British institutions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHolcombe s arrangement is short and sweet at less than 100 measures and should be considered intermediate-advanced in difficulty.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Musicians Publications","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46968558977318,"sku":"MPFT112","price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0827\/3559\/5814\/products\/700000000MPFT112_d.jpg?v=1697515006","url":"https:\/\/www.flute4u.com\/products\/sullivan-a-three-little-maids-from-school-are-we","provider":"Carolyn Nussbaum Music Company","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
