The Grand Duke Or The Statutory Duel is a comedic opera written by William S. Gilbert. The story is set in the fictional German duchy of Pfennig-Halbpfennig, where the Grand Duke is facing financial troubles and decides to legalize dueling as a means of generating revenue. The plot follows a group of actors who are hired by a young couple to help them win a duel against each other, as they are in love but cannot marry due to a complicated inheritance law. As the story unfolds, the actors become embroiled in the political intrigue of the Grand Duke's court and must navigate their way through a series of hilarious misunderstandings and mistaken identities. The opera is known for its witty dialogue, catchy tunes, and satirical commentary on the absurdities of aristocratic society.THIS 36 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: The Works of Sir William Gilbert and Sir Arthur Sullivan, by William S.
