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.[1] A recording (omitting the spoken dialogue) was issued by Dutton Epoch in 2020[2] together with the first professional recording of Haddon Hall, featuring the BBC Singers and BBC Concert Orchestra, conducted by John Andrews.[3]
