Liverpool Royal Court Theatre – D'oyly Carte Opera – 1946
An original programme for the D’oyly Carte Opera Company’s season of Gilbert And Sullivan operas at the Royal Court Theatre, Liverpool, dated 1 April 1946.
In the years after the war the company toured Britain extensively, bringing favourites such as The Mikado, HMS Pinafore and The Pirates of Penzance to audiences around the country.
D’Oyly Carte material is a much-loved collecting field, and this is a fine example of old theatre programmes from the company’s touring heyday.
