Here is the comment that I did on the earlier post in rot13:
I was totally wrong about joy and rapture - it is in the finale of Pinafore.
But the modified is indeed in Mikado, the first time the lovers get together alone, after Yum-Yum says that although she is going to marry Koko, she doesn't love him. There is laughing song and joyous cheer in the finale, but no joyous rapture.
But there is indeed rapture in Pirates, when the young ladies react to the sudden appearance of the police, at the end of Act II.
and added here: that was the General reacting, not his wards. And I had it in front of me. Going on, is it only in G&S land that old men wind up with bevies of beautiful wards, nary a one is over the age of twenty-one? Well, Koko only had one. And I suppose the Admiral has to make do with sisters, cousins, and aunts. They probably wouldn't let him get wards. I notice these are the most popular operettas, though. I guess the Gondoliers is pretty good, but there are two pretty wards. Male, though.
