A La Carte

"A La Carte" is a miscellany of Gilbert & Sullivan favourites, linked by extracts from diary entries, correspondence, and contemporary reviews. The evening recounts the volatile creative partnership of William S. Gilbert and Arthur Sullivan, and their dealings with their theatrical impresario, Richard D’Oyly Carte, in both word and song.​

Five D’Oyly Carte Opera Company performers, accompanied by a Sullivan’s Grand Piano, perform live from the ballroom of Eyot House on the exclusive D’Oyly Carte Island, West London.
