Afrikaans: Thespis, the eerste, en tans verlore samewerking tussen W.S. Gilbert en Arthur Sullivan se première op 26 Desember 1871. Aanvanklik bedoel as Kersvermaak, is blywende gewildheid nie verwag nie. Weens die gewildheid van latere samewerkings soos H.M.S. Pinafore en The Pirates of Penzance, het rekonstruksies van Thespis toenemend gewild geword in die laat 20ste eeu.

Dansk: Operaen Thespis, det første og nu tabte værk fra samarbejdet mellem Gilbert og Sullivan, havde premiere 26. december 1871. Det var ment som et midlertidigt juleshow, men den vedvarende succes for senere værker som Pinafore og Piraterne fra Penzance har gjort rekonstruktioner af Thespis populære fra slutningen af det 20. århundrede.

Français : Représentation de Thespis, première opérette issue de la collaboration du compositeur anglais Arthur Sullivan et du librettiste William S. Gilbert dont la première eu lieu à Londres le 26 décembre 1871. Il n'était pas prévu que ce conte de Noêl reste longtemps à l'affiche mais à la suite du succès rencontré par les œuvres suivantes de ces 2 auteurs avec H.M.S. Pinafore et The Pirates of Penzance, l'opérette connut un succès croissant jusqu'au début du XXe siècle. Cette illustration a été publiée dans le journal Illustrated London News du 6 janvier 1872.

Македонски: „Теспис“, првата (денес незачувана) соработка помеѓу В. С. Гилберт и Артур Саливан, за прв пат прикажана на 26 декември, 1871. Како божиќна претстава, не е очекувала да трае, но останала заради трајната популарност на нивните други соработки, како „Бродот Пинафорте“ и „Пензанските пирати“. Започнувајќи со доцниот XX век, реконструирањето на „Теспис“ расте сѐ повеќе во популарност.
Norsk bokmål: Operaen Thespis, det første og nå tapte verk fra samarbeidet mellom W. S. Gilbert og Arthur Sullivan, hadde premiere 26. desember 1871.

Pinafore og Piratene fra Penzance har gjort rekonstruksjoner av Thespis populære fra slutten av det 20. århundre.

Română: Spectacolul Thespis, astăzi dispărut, a reprezentat prima colaborare între W. S. Gilbert şi Arthur Sullivan şi a avut premiera la 26 decembrie 1871. Nu se aştepta ca acest spectacol de Crăciun să dureze, dar datorită popularităţii ridicate a colaborărilor ulterioare între cei doi, printre care se numără H.M.S. Pinafore şi The Pirates of Penzance, reconstituiri ale lui Thespis au devenit şi ele din ce în ce mai populare din a doua jumătate a secolului al XX-lea.

| Description | Detail from "The Pantomimes" by D.H. Friston in the January 6, 1872 Illustrated London News, showing Thespis by Gilbert and Sullivan. The original has two other pantomimes stacked above it. It has been slightly cleaned up to isolate Thespis from the illustration of Noah's Ark above. The scene is from late in Act I, either just after the gods appear to Thespis (and before they chase the other Thespians off) in the dialogue before the finale, or at the return of the Thespians within the Act I finale. Given the lack of Diana, it's probably the former. Terence Rees, in Thespis: A Gilbert and Sullivan Enigma identifies the actors on page 99. From left to right: Apollo (Fred Sullivan), Mars (Frank Wood), Jupiter (John Maclean), Thespis (J. L. Toole), Stupidas [background, in pointy hat] (Fred Payne), Preposteros [arms crossed] (Harry Payne), and Mercury (Nelly Farren) | ||||||||||||||||
