"Haddon Hall" is an English comic opera with music by Arthur Sullivan and a libretory by Sydney Grundy. The opera premiered at the Savoy Theatre in London on September 24, 1892, and ran for 204 performances. Grundy's libretto was a departure from the usual Gilbert and Sullivan operas, with W.S. Gilbert not involved in this production. Instead, Grundy based his story on a romanticized version of English history, set in the titular Haddon Hall, a medieval manor house in Derbyshire.

The plot of "Haddon Hall" revolves around the historical figure Dorothy Vernon's elopement with John Manners, taking place against the backdrop of the conflict between the Royalists and the Puritans during the English Civil War. The opera blends romantic intrigue with political commentary, showcasing Sullivan's ability to compose music that straddles the line between the comic and the serious.

The music of "Haddon Hall" includes a variety of musical styles, from madrigals and courtly dances to more contemporary Victorian melodies. While the opera was initially successful, it has not maintained the popularity of Sullivan's collaborations with Gilbert. However, it is still occasionally performed by amateur and professional companies, contributing to the broader repertoire of English comic opera.

"Haddon Hall" is notable for its lush orchestration and the use of historical themes to explore issues of love, loyalty, and social change. It represents a significant work in the career of Arthur Sullivan, showcasing his versatility as a composer beyond his more famous works with W.S. Gilbert. The opera's historical setting and departure from the satirical style of Gilbert and Sullivan's collaborations give it a unique place in the canon of Victorian operetta.
