Step into the magical world of Gilbert and Sullivan's Princess Ida, as depicted in this programme print from the Savoy Theatre in London during the late Victorian era. This intriguing image showcases two enchanting characters from the operetta, each deep in their respective roles. On the left, the elderly Professor Pooh-Bah, played by George Grossmith, dons a grand, brown robe adorned with gold trim and a green hat, exuding an air of authority and wisdom. His stern expression and cane add to his commanding presence. On the right, the dashing Prince Hilarion, portrayed by Richard Temple, is depicted in full armor, complete with helmet, sword, and shield. His determined gaze and confident stance convey his unwavering resolve to win the heart of Princess Ida. Surrounding the captivating characters are a series of advertisements that add to the charm of the production. The art nouveau design, with its flowing lines and intricate details, reflects the unique style of the time. Adverts for Thornhill's Cabs and Saville Row's New Bond Street fashion houses showcase the latest trends in transportation and fashion. Princess Ida, a comic operetta that premiered in 1884, was a beloved production of the Savoy Theatre, which was known for its innovative and groundbreaking productions. This programme print offers a glimpse into the magical world of Gilbert and Sullivan's enchanting operetta, transporting us to a time of medieval charm and Victorian innovation.
