Intended as a satirical dig at the Victorian obsession with the supernatural, Gilbert & Sullivan<\/a><\/strong>\u2019s 1887 opera tells of ghosts, witches\u2019 curses and the tiring business of having to commit a different crime every day. Among its most famous moments is Sir Roderic’s Act II song – \u2018When the Night Wind Howls\u2019 – whose music is as over the top as the lyrics: \u2018Fair phantom, come!

Come, soar to yonder silent clouds; The ether teems with peopled shrouds: We\u2019ll fly the lightsome spectre crowds, Thou cloudy, clammy thing.\u2019<\/p>
