You can purchase copies of Gondoliers scores from the following locations. They offer online, or at least
e-mail, ordering, and shipment to anywhere in the world.

• Gilbert and Sullivan Archive Edition. The aim of the score is to present the text of the opera as it is generally performed today whilst avoiding the many errors in the Schirmer edition of the score. The dialogue is included as well as the musical numbers, and notes describe the ammendments to the text.

• Chappells of Bond Street, now at 152-160 Wardour Street, carry the scores for all 13 G&S operas and are willing to ship them anywhere in the world. Their telephone number is +44(0) 20 7432 4400.

• IMSLP — The vocal score [Chappell 1890] and band parts can be downloaded as PDF files. This vocal score differs in places from those currently published by Chappell or Schirmer.

The "Newby Scores" have been used all over the English-speaking world.
