The D’Oyly Carte co-production with Scottish Opera, of The Gondoliers, finally arrives at Hackney Empire on 30th March after a long wait of almost two years.
D’Oyly Carte Opera’s co-production with Scottish Opera has opened in Glasgow at the Theatre Royal. After a delay of almost 20 months, both productions received their premieres last week in Scottish Opera’s base theatre. Audiences have been very enthusiastic to be finally returning to live theatre.
In March 2020, we were just days from starting rehearsals for our next collaboration with Scottish Opera.
Owing to the ongoing Covid19 situation, the D’Oyly Carte Office is currently closed and unstaffed. Phone calls cannot be answered. All enquiries should be made by email to:
Following the closure of theatres nationwide in response to the Covid-19 pandemic, it is with the greatest regret we announce that all production plans for The Gondoliers and Utopia, Limited this year have been cancelled until further notice.
On 26th November, D’Oyly Carte presented an evening of Gilbert and Sullivan at the Grand Theatre in Wolverhampton in celebration of their 125th anniversary. On December 10th, 1894, D’Oyly Carte had opened the theatre with a performance of Utopia, Limited.
Our collaboration with English Touring Opera to bring Performers Workshops to as wide an audience as possible is half-way completed. Bradley Travis and Gaynor Keeble facilitate the workshop with enthusiasm and a wide breadth of experience. Here are some pictures of last weeks workshop in Cambridge at the Storey’s Field Community Centre.
