Sir Arthur Sullivan, der für seine Savoyer-Opern mit dem Librettisten W. S. Gilbert bekannt war, komponierte auch regelmäßig Musik für wichtige königliche oder nationale Anlässe. Im Jahr 1897 wurde er anlässlich des Diamantenen Jubiläums von Königin Victoria beauftragt, ein Ballett für das Alhambra Theatre in London zu schreiben.
