Topsy-Turvy – Auf den Kopf gestellt (1999)
Im 19.Jahrhunderts sind William Gilbert und Arthur Sullivan die Stars der komischen Operette im ganzen viktorianischen Königreich. Doch 1884 startet ihr gemeinsames Stück "Prinzessin Ida" zwar mit Publikumserfolg, aber ohne berauschende Kritiken. Für Sullivan, den Komponisten, der Beweis seiner Vermutung, dass er musikalisch auf der Stelle tritt, weil er stets nach Gilberts immer nach demselben Schema aufgebauten märchenhaften Stücken arbeiten muß. Während Sullivan für ein Jahr nach Europa geht, versucht sich Gilbert an einem neuen Stück, doch sein Libretto wird abgelehnt. Erst als Mrs.Gilbert, die sonst von ihrem Mann ignoriert wird, ihn in eine Japan-Ausstellung schleppt, fühlt Gilbert den Hauch der Inspiration.Und auch Sullivan, der auf seinem Weg zu einer ernsthaften großen Oper oder Sinfonie noch nicht recht weitergekommen ist, läßt sich anstecken. Bald stecken sie voll in den Proben zu ihrem zumindest von der Inszenierung realistischsten Stück: "The Mikado"...
