Illuminated by the Edison Incandescent Light!
Come see Gilbert & Sullivan's "The Yeomen of the Guard" this week, February 18-23, 1889, at the Most Perfect Theatre in America! And don't miss the special matinee performance for Washington's birthday! This performance in Boston came only four months after the premiere of the Savoy Theatre in London.
The Sigmund A. Lavine Gilbert & Sullivan collection consists of scripts, musical scores, programs, photographs, artwork, advertising, newspaper clippings, and other material related to the partnership between W.S. Gilbert and Arthur Sullivan, and their fourteen comic operas. Much of the material relates to performances of Gilbert and Sullivan operas by the D'Oyly Carte Opera Company from 1881-1982. The collection also contains some material produced by Gilbert and Sullivan outside of their partnership. The collection was assembled by Sigmund A. Lavine, a lifelong participant in the Boston theatre scene and a Gilbert & Sullivan historian and devotee.
