EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures a scene from Gilbert and Sullivan's new opera, "Ruddygore" performed at the iconic Savoy Theatre. The image, created by Percy Macquoid in 1887, showcases Act II of the opera, specifically the mesmerizing Procession of Ancestors. In this enchanting display of performing arts, we witness a grand parade of ancestral figures making their way across the stage. Each character is dressed in elaborate costumes that reflect their historical era and social standing. From knights to noble ladies and even jesters, this procession brings together a diverse range of characters from different periods in time. The attention to detail in Macquoid's engraving is truly remarkable; every facial expression and gesture exudes an air of theatricality and drama. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back to London's vibrant theater scene during the late 19th century. The Savoy Theatre itself serves as a magnificent backdrop for this spectacle. Known for its association with Gilbert and Sullivan's operas, it was one of London's premier venues for musical entertainment at the time. This evocative image not only celebrates the artistry behind "Ruddygore" but also pays homage to Gilbert and Sullivan's enduring legacy within the world of opera. It reminds us that even after more than a century since its creation, their work continues to captivate audiences with its timeless charm and wit.
