EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the inimitable George Grossmith in his iconic role as The Sorcerer in the latest Gilbert and Sullivan operetta, which premiered on November 15, 1884, at the Savoy Theatre in London. The operetta, a masterpiece of Victorian comedy, marked the team's eighth collaboration. Grossmith, an accomplished singer and performer, brought the character to life with his unique charm and comedic timing. In this entr'acte scene, Grossmith dons an extravagant top hat, adorned with a teapot and a pince-nez, adding to the whimsical and magical atmosphere of the production. The Sorcerer, a character known for his ability to conjure love potions, is depicted with a mischievous grin, suggesting the enchanting and playful nature of the role. The late 1880s were a golden age for Gilbert and Sullivan operettas, and this print offers a glimpse into the world of entertainment during that era. The Savoy Theatre, a pioneer in the use of electric lighting, provided a unique and innovative setting for these groundbreaking productions. Grossmith's portrayal of The Sorcerer became a beloved and enduring part of the operetta's legacy, making this print a must-have for any Gilbert and Sullivan enthusiast or collector of Victorian-era memorabilia.
