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.
This autumn we will be running our singers workshops in collaboration with English Touring Opera, as we did last year.
It is with great sadness that we report the passing of our dear colleague, Pauline Beaton. Pauline had been with D’Oyly Carte for almost twenty-years and served as our book-keeper and more recently as the Music Hire Librarian as well.
On Tuesday 26th November, the Grand Theatre in Wolverhampton will celebrate it’s 125th Anniversary. It was on this date that the D’Oyly Carte Opera Company opened The Grand Theatre in 1894 with a performance of Utopia, Limited.
It is with enormous pleasure that we announce our next collaboration with Scottish Opera in 2020. We will present two new productions to follow on from our hugely successful The Pirates of Penzance (2013) and The Mikado (2016).
