Gilbert dont la première eu lieu à Londres le 26 décembre 1871. Il n'était pas prévu que ce conte de Noêl reste longtemps à l'affiche mais à la suite du succès rencontré par les œuvres suivantes de ces 2 auteurs avec H.M.S.

Gilbert și Arthur Sullivan și a avut premiera la 26 decembrie 1871. Nu se aștepta ca acest spectacol de Crăciun să dureze, dar datorită popularității ridicate a colaborărilor ulterioare între cei doi, printre care se numără H.M.S. Pinafore și The Pirates of Penzance, reconstituiri ale lui Thespis au devenit și ele din ce în ce mai populare din a doua jumătate a secolului al XX-lea. Македонски: „Теспис“, првата (денес незачувана) соработка помеѓу В. С. Гилберт и Артур Саливан, за прв пат прикажана на 26 декември, 1871. Како божиќна претстава, не е очекувала да трае, но останала заради трајната популарност на нивните други соработки, како „Бродот Пинафорте“ и „Пензанските пирати“. Започнувајќи со доцниот XX век, реконструирањето на „Теспис“ расте сѐ повеќе во популарност. Русский: Иллюстрация к первому акту оперы Гилберта и Салливана «Феспис».

| Description |
English: Detail from "The Pantomimes" by D.H. Friston in the January 6, 1872 Illustrated London News, showing Thespis by Gilbert and Sullivan. The original has two other pantomimes stacked above it. It has been slightly cleaned up to isolate Thespis from the illustration of Noah's Ark above. The scene is from late in Act I, either just after the gods appear to Thespis (and before they chase the other Thespians off) in the dialogue before the finale, or at the return of the Thespians within the Act I finale. Given the lack of Diana, it's probably the former. Terence Rees, in Thespis: A Gilbert and Sullivan Enigma identifies the actors on page 99. From left to right: Apollo (Fred Sullivan), Mars (Frank Wood), Jupiter (John Maclean), Thespis (J. L. Toole), Stupidas [background, in pointy hat] (Fred Payne), Preposteros [arms crossed] (Harry Payne), and Mercury (Nelly Farren). Whole page in the ILN - Gaiety |
