Savoy Operas were a new type of comic opera. Today, the Savoy theatre is better known for its musical theatre productions, but it was originally built in 1881 by English theatrical agent and composer, Richard D’Oyly Carte, to specifically house Gilbert and Sullivan’s Comic operas.
This book is a record of events and productions with an introduction by The Rt. Hon. T P O’Connor M.P. Containing some wonderful photographic plates of some of the performers of its time.
