Cox and Box, or, The Long-Lost Brothers, is a one-act comic opera with a libretto by F. C. Burnand and music by Arthur Sullivan, based on the 1847 farce Box and Cox by John Maddison Morton. It was Sullivan's first successful comic opera.  

A relatable character study for the 21st century, Brides and Mothers looks at the complexity of mother/daughter relationships from a new angle. Sean Pflueger and Laura Wehrmeyer Fuentes’ previous collaboration, Do Not Disturb, was praised as “wonderfully witty”. Brides and Mothers, their third operatic collaboration, is poised to be a modern-day classic.
