For many years the standard performance style of all the operettas by Gilbert and Sullivan was upheld by the D‟Oyly Carte Opera Company, who attempted to perform the operettas as they had originally been done.

  • Pirates of Penzance
    The Definitive libretto of The Pirates of Penzance Or, Love and Duty1 An Entirely New and Original Comic Opera2 in Two Acts Written by W.S. Gilbert Composed by Arthur Sullivan Privately published by Ian C Bond at 2 Kentisview, Kentisbeare, CULLOMPTON, EX15 2BS. - ©1997 Page - 1 1 This subtitle was used only at Paignton. Subsequent productions used “The Slave of Duty”. 2 In New York this was billed as a “New Melo-dramatic Opera”, whilst in London this became “A New and Original Melo-Dramatic Opera”. THE PIRATES OF PENZANCE Arriving at a definitive version of the libretto for this opera is particularly difficult, as the piece exists in three identifiable versions - the first ‘copyright’ performance at Paignton, Devon - the official ‘world première’ in New York - and the official British première in London. Of the three, the Paignton version contains the most differences. Gilbert, Sullivan and a fully rehearsed H. M. S. PINAFORE company, left London by boat train for Liverpool on the 25th October 1879, where they boarded the Bothnia, D’Oyly Carte and six of the principals following six days later on the Gallia. The advance party arrived in New York on the 5th November. The libretto for the copyright performance at Paignton was presumably left with Helen Lenoir (later Helen D’Oyly Carte), who was in charge of the London and British touring companies. How much of the material written in New York could possibly have been sent back to London in time to be forwarded to the D’Oyly Carte “B” company, already out on the road when the American company left Liverpool, is unknown - considering the considerable differences between the two versions, not much it would appear.
