Preface. When the D’Oyly Carte Opera Company revived Ruddigore during their 1920-21 season at the Prince’s Theatre, it was a significantly different opera from that which had been performed at the Savoy during its initial run. Several musical numbers had been cut, and a new overture arranged by Geoffrey Toye. Although the company eventually restored some of the cut numbers, that was essentially the version of the opera they presented until the company closed in 1982.

Ruddigore had been significantly revised by Gilbert and Sullivan during the early days of its original run: dialogue was pruned, the second verses of a couple of songs were cut, a new song was provided for Robin in Act II, the chorus of “Bucks and Blades” were brought on to provide partners for the Bridesmaids at the end of the opera instead of the chorus of Ancestors who originally had all been brought back to life, and the title was changed from Ruddygore to its present form.

Meanwhile, in 2000, David Russell Hulme (DRH) published a critical edition of Ruddigore withOxford University Press (OUP) based on Sullivan’s original manuscript. The changes from the Toye version added a few extra measures here and there that make it incompatible with the existing Kalmus orchestra parts. It also restored the original overture.

This vocal score and the accompanying orchestral score integrate all of Hulmes corrections but also show Toye’s changes as well, so you can perform Ruddigore as originally written or with some or all of Toye’s modifications as you wish.

Musical numbers which have these annotations, include numbers 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 12, 15, 20, and 21. In addition, I have unfolded the repeats in #14 (You understand?) to make it more readable.

In #7, (“My boy you may take it from me”) we show Richard’s dialog after the pause in the second and third verses. While these two dialog lines do not appear in the Oxford, Schirmer or Cramer vocal scores, they are in the Kalmus full score. Bradley indicated that these lines were added in the 1930s by D’Oyly-Carte, but Hulme notes that Sullivan marked a pause in verse 2 and 3 in his original score. They may have used those same lines from the start, but we cannot be sure of it.

The libretto was created by Paul Howarth of the G&S archive, and these scores by the undersigned. The accompanying full orchestra score also notes these changes and both scores allows for the playing either version. The full score is available on line and the orchestra parts available from Troupers Light Opera ([email protected]).

01. Fair is Rose11

Enter DAME HANNAH from cottage.

HANNAH. Nay, gentle maidens, you sing well but vainly, for Rose is still heart-free, and looks but coldly upon her many suitors.

ZORAH. It’s very disappointing. Every young man in the village is in love with her, but they are appalled by her beauty and modesty, and won’t declare themselves; so, until she makes her own choice, there’s no chance for anybody else.

RUTH. This is, perhaps, the only village in the world that possesses an endowed corps of professional bridesmaids who are bound to be on duty every day from ten to four – and it is at least six months since our services were required. The pious charity by which we exist is practically wasted!

ZOR. We shall be disendowed – that will be the end of it! Dame Hannah – you’re a nice old person – you could marry if you liked. There’s old Adam – Robin’s faithful servant – he loves you with all the frenzy of a boy of fourteen.

HAN. Nay – that may never be, for I am pledged! ALL. To whom? HAN. To an eternal maidenhood! Many years ago I was betrothed to a god-like youth who

woo’d me under an assumed name. But on the very day upon which our wedding was to have been celebrated, I discovered that he was no other than Sir Roderic Murgatroyd, one of the bad Baronets of Ruddigore, and the uncle of the man who now bears that title. As a son of that accursed race he was no husband for an honest girl, so, madly as I loved him, I left him then and there. He died but ten years since, but I never saw him again.

ZOR. But why should you not marry a bad Baronet of Ruddigore? RUTH. All baronets are bad; but was he worse than other baronets? HAN. My child, he was accursed. ZOR. But who cursed him? Not you, I trust! HAN. The curse is on all his line, and has been ever since the time of Sir Rupert, the first

Baronet. Listen, and you shall hear the legend:

(Exeunt chorus of Bridesmaids.

Enter Rose from cottage, with a small basket under her arm.) HAN. Whither away, dear Rose? On some errand of charity, as is thy wont? ROSE. A few gifts, dear aunt, for deserving villagers. Lo, here is some peppermint rock for

old gaffer Gadderby, a set of false teeth for pretty little Ruth Rowbottom, and a pound of snuff for the poor orphan girl on the hill.

HAN. Ah, Rose, pity that so much goodness should not help to make some gallant youth happy for life! Rose, why dost thou harden that little heart of thine? Is there none hereaway whom thou could'st love?

ROSE. And if there were such an one, verily it would ill become me to tell him so. HAN. Nay, dear one, where true love is, there is little need of prim formality.

ROSE. Hush, dear aunt, for thy words pain me sorely. Hung in a plated dish-cover to the knocker of the workhouse door, with naught that I could call mine own, save a change of baby-linen and a book of etiquette, little wonder if I have always regarded that work as a voice from a parent’s tomb. This hallowed volume (producing a book of etiquette), composed, if I may believe the title-page, by no less an authority than the wife of a Lord Mayor, has been, through life, my guide and monitor. By its solemn precepts I have learnt to test the moral worth of all who approach me. The man who bites his bread, or eats peas with a knife, I look upon as a lost creature, and he who has not acquired the proper way of entering and leaving a room is the object of my pitying horror. There are those in this village who bite their nails, dear aunt, and nearly all are wont to use their pocket combs in public places. In truth I could pursue this painful theme much further, but behold, I have said enough.

HAN. But is there not one among them who is faultless, in thine eyes? For example – young Robin. He combines the manners of a Marquis with the morals of a Methodist. Could'st thou not love him?

ROSE. And even if I could, how should I confess it unto him? For lo, he is shy, and sayeth naught!

ROSE. Poor aunt! Little did the good soul think, when she breathed the hallowed name of Robin, that he would do even as well as another. But he resembleth all the youths in this village, in that he is unduly bashful in my presence, and lo, it is hard to bring him to the point. But soft, he is here!

(ROSE is about to go when ROBIN enters and calls her.)

ROBIN. Mistress Rose! ROSE. (surprised) Master Robin!ROB. I wished to say that – it is fine.

ROSE. It is passing fine. ROB. But we do want rain. ROSE. Aye, sorely! Is that all? ROB. (sighing) That is all. ROSE. Good day, Master Robin! ROB. Good day, Mistress Rose! (Both going – both stop.) ROSE. I crave pardon, I –ROB. I beg pardon, I –ROSE. You were about to say? –

ROB. I would fain consult you –ROSE. Truly? ROB. It is about a friend. ROSE. In truth I have a friend myself.

ROB. Indeed? I mean, of course –ROSE. And I would fain consult you –ROB. (anxiously) About him? ROSE. (prudishly) About her.ROB. (relieved) Let us consult one another.

4. I know a youth26

(Exit ROSE.)

ROB. Poor child! I sometimes think that if she wasn’t quite so particular I might venture –but no, no – even then I should be unworthy of her!

(He sit desponding. Enter OLD ADAM.)

ADAM. My kind master is sad! Dear Sir Ruthven Murgatroyd –ROB. Hush! As you love me, breathe not that hated name. Twenty years ago, in horror at the

prospect of inheriting that hideous title, and with it the ban that compels all who succeed to the baronetcy to commit at least one deadly crime per day, for life, I fled my home, and concealed myself in this innocent village under the name of Robin Oakapple. My younger brother, Despard, believing me to be dead, succeeded to the title and its attendant curse. For twenty years I have been dead and buried. Don’t dig me up now.

ADAM. Dear master, it shall be as you wish, for have I not sworn to obey you for ever in all things? Yet, as we are here alone, and as I belong to that particular description of good old man to whom the truth is a refreshing novelty, let me call you by your own right title once more! (ROBIN assents.) Sir Ruthven Murgatroyd! Baronet! Of Ruddigore! Whew! It’s like eight hours at the seaside!

ROB. My poor old friend! Would there were more like you! ADAM. Would there were indeed! But I bring you good tidings. Your foster-brother,

Richard, has returned from sea – his ship the Tom-Tit rides yonder at anchor, and he himself is even now in this very village!

ROB. My beloved foster-brother? No, no – it cannot be! ADAM. It is even so – and see, he comes this way!

(Exeunt Chorus)

The Toye version suggests playing 4 verses f, pp, f, ff.In this case, start again from the pickup to letter B.

(Exeunt Chorus, as ROBIN comes forward.)

ROB. Richard!

RICH. Robin!

ROB. My beloved foster-brother, and very dearest friend, welcome home again after ten long years at sea! It is such deeds as you have just described that cause our flag to be loved and dreaded throughout the civilized world!

RICH. Why, lord love ye, Rob, that’s but a trifle to what we have done in the way of sparing life! I believe I may say, without exaggeration, that the marciful little Tom-Tit has spared more French frigates than any craft afloat! But ’taint for a British seaman to brag, so I’ll just stow my jawin’ tackle and belay. (ROBIN sighs.) But ’vast heavin’, messmate, what’s brought you all a-cockbill?

ROB. Alas, Dick, I love Rose Maybud, and love in vain!

RICH. You love in vain? Come, that’s too good! Why, you’re a fine strapping muscular young fellow – tall and strong as a to’-gall’n’-m’st – taut as a fore-stay – aye, and a barrowknight to boot, if all had their rights!

ROB. Hush, Richard – not a word about my true rank, which none here suspect. Yes, I know well enough that few men are better calculated to win a woman’s heart than I. I’m a fine fellow, Dick, and worthy any woman’s love – happy the girl who gets me, say I. But I’m timid, Dick; shy, nervous, modest, retiring, diffident, and I cannot tell her, Dick, I cannot tell her! Ah, you’ve no idea what a poor opinion I have of myself, and how little I deserve it.

RICH. Robin, do you call to mind how, years ago, we swore that, come what might, we would always act upon our hearts’ dictates?

ROB. Aye, Dick, and I’ve always kept that oath. In doubt, difficulty, and danger, I’ve always asked my heart what I should do, and it has never failed me.

RICH. Right! Let your heart be your compass, with a clear conscience for your binnacle light, and you’ll sail ten knots on a bowline, clear of shoals, rocks, and quicksands! Well, now, what does my heart say in this here difficult situation? Why, it says, “Dick,” it says – (it calls me Dick acos it’s known me from a babby) – ”Dick,” it says, “you ain’t shy – you ain’t modest –speak you up for him as is!” Robin, my lad, just you lay me alongside, and when she’s becalmed under my lee, I’ll spin her a yarn that shall sarve to fish you two together for life!

ROB. Will you do this thing for me? Can you, do you think? Yes. (feeling his pulse)There’s no false modesty about you. Your, what I would call bumptious self-assertiveness (I mean the expression in its complimentary sense) has already made you a bos’n’s mate, and it will make an admiral of you in time, if you work it properly, you dear, incompetent old impostor! My dear fellow, I’d give my right arm for one tenth of your modest assurance!

7. My boy, you may take it from me39

(Exit ROBIN.)

RICH. (looking after him). Ah, it’s a thousand pities he’s such a poor opinion of himself, for a finer fellow don’t walk! Well, I’ll do my best for him. “Plead for him as though it was for your own father” – that’s what my heart’s a-remarkin’ to me just now. But here she comes! Steady! Steady it is! (Enter ROSE – he is much struck by her.) By the Port Admiral, but she’s a tight little craft! Come, come, she’s not for you, Dick, and yet – she’s fit to marry Lord Nelson! By the Flag of Old England, I can’t look at her unmoved.

ROSE. Sir, you are agitated –

RICH. Aye, aye, my lass, well said! I am agitated, true enough! – took flat aback, my girl; but ’tis naught –’twill pass. (aside) This here heart of mine’s a-dictatin’ to me like anythink. Question is, have I a right to disregard its promptings?

ROSE. Can I do aught to relieve thine anguish, for it seemeth to me that thou art in sore trouble? This apple – (offering a damaged apple).

RICH. (looking at it and returning it). No, my lass, ’tain’t that: I’m – I’m took flat aback – Inever see anything like you in all my born days. Parbuckle me, if you ain’t the loveliest gal I’ve ever set eyes on. There – I can’t say fairer than that, can I?

ROSE. No. (aside) The question is, Is it meet that an utter stranger should thus express himself? (Refers to book.) Yes – “Always speak the truth.”

RICH. I’d no thoughts of sayin’ this here to you on my own account, for, truth to tell, I was chartered by another; but when I see you my heart it up and it says, says it, “This is the very lass for you, Dick” – “speak up to her, Dick,” it says – (it calls me Dick acos we was at school together) – “tell her all, Dick,” it says, “never sail under false colours – it’s mean!” That’s what my heart tells me to say, and in my rough, common-sailor fashion, I’ve said it, and I’m a-waiting for your reply. I’m a-tremblin’, miss. Lookye here – (holding out his hand). That’s narvousness!

ROSE. (aside) Now, how should a maiden deal with such an one? (Consults book.) “Keep no one in unnecessary suspense.” (aloud) Behold, I will not keep you in unnecessary suspense. (Refers to book.) “In accepting an offer of marriage, do so with apparent hesitation.” (aloud) Itake you, but with a certain show of reluctance. (Refers to book.) “Avoid any appearance of eagerness.” (aloud) Though you will bear in mind that I am far from anxious to do so. (Refers to book.) “A little show of emotion will not be misplaced!” (aloud) Pardon this tear! (Wipes her eye.)

RICH. Rose, you’ve made me the happiest blue-jacket in England! I wouldn’t change places with the Admiral of the Fleet, no matter who he’s a-huggin’ of at this present moment! But, axin’ your pardon, miss (wiping his lips with his hand), might I be permitted to salute the flag I’m a-goin’ to sail under?

ROSE. (referring to book). “An engaged young lady should not permit too many familiarities.” (aloud) Once! (RICHARD kisses her.)

ROB. Well – what news? Have you spoken to her?

RICH. Aye, my lad, I have – so to speak – spoke her.

ROB. And she refuses?

RICH. Why, no, I can’t truly say she do.

ROB. Then she accepts! My darling! (Embraces her.)

BRIDESMAIDS. Hail the Bridegroom – hail the Bride! etc.

ROSE. (aside, referring to her book) Now, what should a maiden do when she is embraced by the wrong gentleman?

RICH. Belay, my lad, belay. You don’t understand.

ROSE. Oh, sir, belay, I beseech you!

RICH. You see, it’s like this: she accepts – but it’s me!

ROB. You! (RICHARD embraces ROSE.)

BRIDESMAIDS. Hail the Bridegroom – hail the Bride!

When the nuptial knot is tied –

ROB. (interrupting angrily) Hold your tongues, will you! Now then, what does this mean?

RICH. My poor lad, my heart grieves for thee, but it’s like this: the moment I see her, and just as I was a-goin’ to mention your name, my heart it up and it says, says it, “Dick, you’ve fell in love with her yourself,” it says; “be honest and sailor-like – don’t skulk under false colours –speak up,” it says, “take her, you dog, and with her my blessin’!”

BRIDESMAIDS. Hail the Bridegroom – hail the bride –

ROB. Will you be quiet! Go away! (CHORUS makes faces at him and exeunt.) Vulgar girls!

RICH. What could I do? I’m bound to obey my heart’s dictates.

ROB. Of course – no doubt. It’s quite right – I don’t mind – that is, not particularly – only it’s – it is disappointing, you know.

ROSE. (to ROBIN) Oh, but, sir, I knew not that thou didst seek me in wedlock, or in very truth I should not have hearkened unto this man, for behold, he is but a lowly mariner, and very poor withal, whereas thou art a tiller of the land, and thou hast fat oxen, and many sheep and swine, a considerable dairy farm and much corn and oil!

RICH. That’s true, my lass, but it’s done now, ain’t it, Rob?

ROSE. Still it may be that I should not be happy in thy love. I am passing young and little able to judge. Moreover, as to thy character I know naught!

47

ROB. Nay, Rose, I’ll answer for that. Dick has won thy love fairly. Broken-hearted as I am, I’ll stand up for Dick through thick and thin!

RICH. (with emotion) Thankye, messmate! that’s well said. That’s spoken honest. Thankye, Rob! (Grasps his hand.)

ROSE. Yet methinks I have heard that sailors are but worldly men, and little prone to lead serious and thoughtful lives!

ROB. And what then? Admit that Dick is not a steady character, and that when he’s excited he uses language that would make your hair curl. Grant that – he does. It’s the truth, and I’m not going to deny it. But look at his good qualities. He’s as nimble as a pony, and his hornpipe is the talk of the Fleet!

RICH. Thankye, Rob! That’s well spoken. Thankye, Rob!

ROSE. But it may be that he drinketh strong waters which do bemuse a man, and make him even as the wild beasts of the desert!

ROB. Well, suppose he does, and I don’t say he don’t, for rum’s his bane, and ever has been. He does drink – I won’t deny it. But what of that? Look at his arms –tattooed to the shoulder! (RICHARD rolls up his sleeves.) No, no – I won’t hear a word against Dick!

ROSE. But they say that mariners are but rarely true to those whom they profess to love!

ROB. Granted – granted – and I don’t say that Dick isn’t as bad as any of ’em. (RICHARD chuckles.) You are, you know you are, you dog! a devil of a fellow – a regular out-and-out Lothario! But what then? You can’t have everything, and a better hand at turning-in a dead-eye don’t walk a deck! And what an accomplishment that is in a family man! No, no – not a word against Dick. I’ll stick up for him through thick and thin!

RICH. Thankye, Rob, thankye. You’re a true friend. I’ve acted accordin’ to my heart’s dictates, and such orders as them no man should disobey.
