George Grossmith

    9. december 1847 – 1. marec 1912

    George Grossmith bol výnimočný britský umelec, ktorého talent siahal od komediálneho hrania a spevu po písanie a skladanie. Jeho odkaz je najvýraznejšie spojený s jeho nezabudnuteľnými úlohami v komických operách Gilberta a Sullivana, kde vytvoril sériu ikonických postáv. Okrem divadelného sveta sa presadil aj ako sólový interpret, známy svojimi vlastnými humornými scénkami a piesňami, ktoré ho vyniesli na vrchol popularity. Jeho literárne dielo zahŕňa aj cenený satirický román, ktorý spolu s bratom napísal, a ukazuje tak jeho všestrannosť v umeleckom vyjadrení.
