Brighton Theatre Royal – The Gondoliers Opera – 1950
An original theatre programme for Gilbert and Sullivan’s The Gondoliers at the Theatre Royal, Brighton, dated 4 September 1950, presented by the D’oly Carte Opera Company.
Set in Venice and the island kingdom of Barataria, the opera follows two gondoliers, one of whom is the unknowing heir to a throne. A used theatre ticket is included.
Gilbert and Sullivan programmes remain enduringly popular, and this post-war touring example is a delightful piece of theatre memorabilia for Savoy opera enthusiasts.
