EDITORS COMMENTS
This delightful cartoon captures the spirit of innovation and collaboration that defined the Savoy Theatre during the 1880s, particularly in the groundbreaking partnership between Richard D'Oyly Carte, W.S. Gilbert, and Arthur Sullivan. In this image, D'Oyly Carte, depicted as the maitre d', warmly welcomes Gilbert and Sullivan, who have taken on the roles of chefs, as they open the doors to the Savoy Dining Room. The trio had just premiered their latest offering, "Patience," an operetta that would go on to become one of the most popular productions of the Victorian era. The Savoy Theatre, under D'Oyly Carte's management, was known for its revolutionary approach to entertainment, with its focus on modernizing the traditional English opera. This cartoon playfully highlights the team's commitment to experimentation and their ability to blend various art forms, such as music, theatre, and dining, into a unique and enjoyable experience for their audience. The Savoy Dining Room, a separate establishment from the theatre, was an integral part of the Savoy's offerings. Patrons could enjoy a meal before or after the performance, further enhancing their overall experience. The cartoon's whimsical depiction of Gilbert and Sullivan in the kitchen adds a touch of humor and lightness to the grand opening of "Patience." This image serves as a fascinating snapshot of the creative energy and collaboration that characterized the Savoy Theatre during the late 19th century, making it an invaluable piece of theatre history.
