Mr. Jericho

Mr. Jericho is a comic opera in one act with words by Harry Greenbank and music by Ernest Ford.

The work was first performed at the Savoy Theatre, London, on 18 March 1893 as a curtain raiser to Arthur Sullivan's Haddon Hall in March and April 1893, and to Ford's Jane Annie in June and July 1893, for a total of 45 performances.

A production of the work was given by Glimmerglass Opera in 1989. A recording (omitting the spoken dialogue) was issued by Dutton Epoch in 2020 together with the first professional recording of Haddon Hall, featuring the BBC Singers and BBC Concert Orchestra, conducted by John Andrews.
