Yeomen of the Guard is a more ‘serious’ Gilbert and Sullivan opera and this perhaps accounts for it’s original lukewarm reception as it ran contrary to audience expectation. Set in the Tower of London in the sixteenth century the libretto concerns a jester Jack Point and his girl Elsie who plot to aid a war hero who is sentenced to die in the Tower. That hero Colonel Fairfax has been condemned to die by a relative who stands to inherit his fortune. Fairfax wants to marry someone just before his execution so that his bride will inherit instead. Jack sets Elsie up to marry Fairfax thinking it will do no harm. However Fairfax escapes and remains in thearea in disguise. He spots Jack trying to woo Elsie and gives a demonstration of the proper way to woo winning Elsie's affections himself. In the end everyone pairs off except Jack who loses Elsie to Fairfax and is heartbroken.
