The lost heirs : the rise and fall of the D'Oyly Carte dynasty
Stebbings, James W.2025
Book
The name D'Oyly Carte is recognised throughout the world as a consequence of Richard D'Oyly Carte's partnership with Gilbert and Sullivan, which produced the fourteen Savoy comic operas during the last quarter of the 19th century. These in turn are recognised as the genesis of 'the musical' that is such an important part of commercial theatre today. It was the success of these operas that paved the way for D'Oyly Carte's other achievements. Behind these achievements,however, lay stories of family unhappiness, strife and tragedy. The stories behind the lives and premature deaths of these heirs are revealed in detail, set against the life of Richard D'Oyly Carte and the stormy relationship of Gilbert and Sullivan.
