Gilbert's libretto satirises limited liability companies, and particularly the idea that a bankrupt company could leave creditors unpaid without any liability to its owners. It also lampoons the \"Stock Company Act\" by imagining the absurd convergence of natural persons and legal entities.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e   Utopia is performed much less frequently than most other Gilbert and Sullivan operas, mainly because the subject-matter and plot are too obscure for modern audiences.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55181380026742,"sku":"9780571529032","price":20.16,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/orig_32882415.jpg?v=1742887568","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9780571529032-utopia-limited-vocal-score","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
