Quite an Adventure is a one-act comic opera by Edward Solomon with a libretto by Frank Desprez. The farcical plot concerns a house-guest who mistakes his hostess's husband for an intruder.
The opera's first run in London was under the management of Michael Gunn, but the piece was played by the D'Oyly Carte Opera Company in the 1880s and 1890s as a curtain raiser to full-length Savoy operas, both on tour and later in London.

Famous quotes containing the word adventure:
“In the court of the movie Owner, none criticized, none doubted. And none dared speak of art. In the Owner’s mind art was a synonym for bankruptcy.... The movie Owners are the only troupe in the history of entertainment that has never been seduced by the adventure of the entertainment world.”
—Ben Hecht (1893–1964)
