Averse as Sir Arthur is to the " interview " in journalism, I could not resist the temptation to ask him to let me do something of the sort when I first had the pleasure of meeting ^ him — not in regard to journalistic matters — some years ago.

  • Class, Respectability and the D'oyly Carte Opera Company 1877-1909
    THE UNIVERSITY OF WINCHESTER Faculty of Arts ‘Respectable Capers’ – Class, Respectability and the D’Oyly Carte Opera Company 1877-1909 Michael Stephen Goron Doctor of Philosophy June 2014 The Thesis has been completed as a requirement for a postgraduate research Degree of the University of Winchester The word count is: 98,856 (including abstract and declarations.) THE UNIVERSITY OF WINCHESTER ABSTRACT FOR THESIS ‘Respectable Capers’: Class, Respectability and the D’Oyly Carte Opera Company 1877-1909 Michael Stephen Goron This thesis will demonstrate ways in which late Victorian social and cultural attitudes influenced the development and work of the D’Oyly Carte Opera Company, and the early professional production and performance of the Gilbert and Sullivan operas. The underlying enquiry concerns the extent to which the D’Oyly Carte Opera organisation and its work relate to an ideology, or collective mentalité, maintained and advocated by the Victorian middle- classes. The thesis will argue that a need to reflect bourgeois notions of respectability, status and gender influenced the practices of a theatrical organisation whose success depended on making large-scale musical theatre palatable to ‘respectable’ Victorians. It will examine ways in which managerial regulation of employees was imposed to contribute to both a brand image and a commercial product which matched the ethical values and tastes of the target audience. The establishment of a company performance style will be shown to have evolved from behavioural practices derived from the absorption and representation of shared cultural outlooks. The working lives and professional preoccupations of authors, managers and performers will be investigated to demonstrate how the attitudes and working lives of Savoy personnel exemplified concerns typical to many West End theatre practitioners of the period, such as the drive towards social acceptability and the recognition of theatre work as a valid professional pursuit, particularly for women.

  • GILBERT and SULLIVAN PAMPHLETS† Number Two
    1 GILBERT AND SULLIVAN PAMPHLETS † Number Two CURTAIN RAISERS A Compilation by Michael Walters and George Low First published October 1990 Slightly revised edition May 1996 Reprinted May 1998. Reformatted and repaginated, but not otherwise altered. INTRODUCTION Very little information is available on the non Gilbert and Sullivan curtain raisers and other companion pieces used at the Savoy and by the D’Oyly Carte Opera Company on tour in their early years. Rollins and Witts give a brief list at the back of their compilation, and there are passing references to some of the pieces by Adair-Fitz- gerald and others. This pamphlet is intended to give some more data which may be of use and interest to the G&S fraternity. It is not intended to be the last word on the subject, but rather the first, and it is hoped that it will provoke further investigation. Perhaps it may inspire others to make exhaustive searches in libraries for the missing scores and libretti. Sources: Cyril Rollins & R. John Witts: 1962.

  • Gilbert and Sullivan's 'Respectable Capers'
    PALGRAVE STUDIES IN BRITISH MUSICAL THEATRE GILBERT AND SULLIVAN’S ‘RESPECTABLE CAPERS’ CLASS, RESPECTABILITY AND THE SAVOY OPERAS, 1877 – 1909 MICHAEL GORON Palgrave Studies in British Musical Theatre Series Editors Millie Taylor Department of Performing Arts University of Winchester Winchester , UK Dominic Symonds Lincoln School of Performing Arts University of Lincoln Lincoln , UK Aim of the Series Britain’s contribution to musical theatre in the late twentieth century is known and celebrated across the world. In historiographies of musical theatre, this assertion of British success concludes the twentieth century narrative that is otherwise reported as an American story. Yet the use of song and music in UK theatre is much more widespread than is often acknowledged. This series teases out the nuances and the richness of British musical theatre in three broad areas: British identity; Aesthetics and dramaturgies; Practices and politics.

    FEBRUARY 2020 on!) Those wonderful performers are Patricia Combs, Reagan Murdock, Taylor Rawley, Amy Selby, and Julius Young, who will be accompanied by Jeanne Sasaki. Jeffrey Jones-Ragona will serve as Music Director. The numbers Janette selected run the Gilbert & Sullivan gambit, as some of my students used to say, from the patter of “When I first put this uniform on” from Patience; the ebullient trio from Iolanthe, “If you go in”; through Nanki-Poo’s famous self-introduction, “A wandering minstrel, I” from The Mikado; Sir Roderick’s ghostly “When the night wind howls” from Ruddigore; to poignant numbers from Iolanthe, Princess Ida, The Yeomen of the Guard, and The Gondoliers. And it will be my great pleasure to share Dave’s research with Saturday, March 7, at 7:30 pm you as master of ceremonies, along with the dozens of images and Sunday, March 8, at 2 pm Dave collected to enhance his narrative.

  • JANE ANNIE Or, the Good Conduct Prize
    JANE ANNIE or, The Good Conduct Prize. A New and Original English Comic Opera in Two Acts Written by J.M. Barrie and Arthur Conan Doyle Music by Ernest Ford with explanatory notes down the margin by Caddie First produced at the Savoy Theatre, London on Saturday 13th May 1893 under the management of Mr. Richard D’Oyly Carte Privately published by Ian C. Bond at 2 Kentisview, Kentisbeare, CULLOMPTON EX15 2BS - ©1997 1 In the original libretto these notes were literally included in the margin and would have been read by patrons as the performance progressed. Here they have been included in the main body of the text and are printed in green. About this libretto My intention in creating this series of libretti is not to publish an in-depth, scholarly appraisal of each of the works included, that can, and has been done far more effectively by others. My aim is to issue the libretti of the operas and choral works of Gilbert and Sullivan, both in partnership with each other, and with others, and of the works of other librettists and composers whose operas appeared at the Savoy Theatre in the 1890’s and early 1900’s, in as complete a form as possible. Hopefully, these libretti will appeal to: 1. Those who share an interest in the works of Gilbert and Sullivan and their contemporaries, but who have had little if any opportunity to read and evaluate these works, many of which have been out of print for decades, for themselves. 2. Enterprising amateur and professional companies who, due to the lack of printed material, have fought shy of presenting some of these works.
