Description

Explore the historical impact of the Savoy operas through Regina B. Oost's detailed research in Gilbert and Sullivan: Class and the Savoy Tradition, 1875-1896. Part of The Nineteenth Century Series, this book offers a deep look into how Richard D'Oyly Carte, W.S. Gilbert, and Arthur Sullivan managed their legendary productions. By examining archival resources from the United Kingdom and the United States, the author reconstructs how these creators shaped the expectations of theatergoers. The research uses a wide range of primary sources, including advertisements, promotional materials, programs, letters, diaries, and account books. This provides a clear view of the promotional strategies used during this era. This work places the Savoy operas within the broader context of West End productions. It compares the methods used by Richard D'Oyly Carte to those of other prominent managers like Henry Irving, John Hollingshead, and Marie and Squire Bancroft. It is an essential resource for students and historians interested in music, opera, and the history of theater management.
