Picture of the day

Haddon Hall is an English light opera with music by Arthur Sullivan and a libretto by Sydney Grundy. Set at the eponymous hall, which today is England's best preserved medieval manor house, the opera dramatises the legend of Dorothy Vernon's elopement with John Manners; although Vernon married Manners in the 1500s, Grundy and Sullivan moved the setting forward to the 17th century. After its 1892 premiere at the Savoy Theatre, Haddon Hall ran for 204 performances. It remained popular with stage troupes into the 1920s.

This illustration, from the cover of the 1 October 1892 edition of The Illustrated London News, depicts a scene from Act II, Scene i: Dorothy Vernon steals away from Haddon Hall on a dark and stormy night.Illustration: M. Browne and Herbert Railton; restoration: Adam Cuerden

Mannerses

An editor has repeatedly changed "Manners family" to "Mannerses". Two editors (including me) have opposed this and reverted, arguing (in edit summaries) that calling the family "Mannerses" is awkward prose. If any other editors have an opinion, please comment here. -- Ssilvers (talk) 05:50, 26 January 2023 (UTC)
