EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a scene from Arthur Sullivan's light opera, "Haddon Hall," which was first performed at the Savoy Theatre in London in 1892. Sullivan, one of the most renowned composers of the late Victorian era, collaborated with librettist Bernard Shaw on this enchanting musical production. In the image, the steps of Haddon Hall are bathed in the soft glow of stage lights, setting the scene for a clandestine elopement. Dorothy Vernon, portrayed by an unidentified actress, gazes up at her lover, John Maners, as they make their way towards the house in the dead of night. The excitement and anticipation of their elopement is palpable in their expressions, while the shadows cast by the trees hint at the secrecy and potential danger of their escape. The Savoy Theatre, which opened in 1881, was a pioneer of modern musical theatre and the home of the Savoy Operas, a series of collaborations between Sullivan and various librettists. "Haddon Hall" was one of the most successful productions in this series, with its witty libretto, memorable music, and stunning sets and costumes. The photograph offers a glimpse into the magical world of late 19th-century musical theatre and the enchanting stories it brought to life.
