The Sorcerer is a two-act comic opera, with a libretto by W. S. Gilbert and music by Arthur Sullivan. It was the British duo's third operatic collaboration. The plot of The Sorcerer is based on a Christmas story, An Elixir of Love, that Gilbert wrote for The Graphic magazine in 1876. A young man, Alexis, is obsessed with the idea of love levelling all ranks and social distinctions. To promote his beliefs, he invites the proprietor of J. W. Wells & Co., Family Sorcerers, to brew a love potion. This causes everyone in the village to fall in love with the first person they see and results in the pairing of comically mismatched couples. In the end, Wells must sacrifice his life to break the spell.

  • The Sorcerer è un'opera comica in due atti, con un libretto di W. S. Gilbert e musiche di Arthur Sullivan. Essa debuttò il 17 novembre 1877 al teatro Opera Comique sullo Strand a Londra, dove venne rappresentata per 178 recite. Per la ripresa del 1884, Gilbert e Sullivan accorciarono la fine del primo atto e scrissero un nuovo inizio del secondo atto, ed è in questa stesura che l'opera viene rappresentata al giorno d'oggi.

  • Чароде́й (англ. The Sorcerer) — комическая опера, или оперетта, в двух действиях композитора Артура Салливана и либреттиста Уильяма Гилберта. Премьера оперы состоялась 17 ноября 1877 года в театре Опера-Комик в Лондоне, где она была исполнена 178 раз. Для новой постановки в 1884 году авторы сделали вторую редакцию оперы и именно в этой версии она как правило исполняется в настоящее время. (ru)
  • The Sorcerer (Trollkarlen) är en operett (comic opera) i två akter med musik av Arthur Sullivan och libretto av W. S. Gilbert. Det var den brittiska duons tredje operamässiga samarbete. Handlingen i The Sorcerer bygger på julsagan An Elixir of Love, som Gilbert skrev till tidningen 1876. Den unge mannen Alexis är besatt av idén att kärleken kan övervinna alla hinder och sociala skillnader. För att bevisa sin tes övertalar han ägaren till "J. W. Wells & Co., Family Sorcerers" att brygga en kärleksdryck. Denna orsakar alla i byn att förälska sig i första bästa person de ser och resulterar i en rad komiska och missanpassade kärlekspar. Till slut måste Wells offra sitt eget liv för att bryta förtrollningen. (sv)
