In the summer of 1915 Stanford began work on his third comic opera, The Critic or An Opera Rehearsed, taken from the largely unaltered second and third acts of Richard Brinsley Sheridan's eponymous play in a libretto constructed by Lewis Cairns James (a colleague at the RCM) and, to a lesser extent, by Stanford himself.
