An Original Vintage Linenbacked English Stage Play Poster (measures 20" x 30" [51 x 76 cm]) (Learn More) The D'Oyly Carte Opera Company was a professional light opera company from the 1870s until 1982 (with revivals for short seasons and tours from 1988 to 2003). In 1875, Richard D'Oyly Carte asked the dramatist W. S. Gilbert and the composer Arthur Sullivan (Gilbert & Sullivan) to collaborate on a short comic opera to round out an evening's entertainment. When that work, Trial by Jury, became a success, Carte put together a syndicate to produce a full-length Gilbert and Sullivan work, The Sorcerer, followed by H.M.S. Pinafore. After Pinafore became an international sensation, Carte jettisoned his difficult investors and formed a new partnership with Gilbert and Sullivan that became the D'Oyly Carte Opera Company. The company produced the succeeding ten Gilbert and Sullivan operas and many other operas and companion pieces, mostly at the Savoy Theatre in London, which Carte built in 1881 for that purpose. The company also mounted tours in Britain, New York and elsewhere, usually running several companies simultaneously.
