Sir Jerrold was a patron of the arts, and loved opera in particular. According to one telling of the story, it was he who commissioned [[Otto Büchstein]]’s fabled, never completed and now long-lost tragic-comic opera ''[[Die Schweizer Heulsuse]]'' as [[Büchstein]] lay dying of tropical diseases in a Burmese infirmary. | |||
