Alfred Cellier was a contemporary of Arthur Sullivan as a Chapel Royal chorister, and would later conduct several Gilbert and Sullivan productions. With its rural tale of disguise and romantic scheming, its jaunty tunes, lively characters and farcical comedy, Cellier’s light opera, Dorothy, has been almost entirely forgotten today. It had the longest run of any 19th-century piece of musical theatre, seeing off The Mikado and Ruddigore, and became such a popular hit in its day that the box office profits were able to fund the building of the Lyric Theatre on London’s Shaftsbury Avenue. The work is receiving on this release its world premiere recording, presented by The Victorian Opera.

Alfred Cellier war ein Zeitgenosse von Arthur Sullivan als Chorsänger der Chapel Royal und leitete später mehrere Gilbert- und Sullivan-Produktionen. Mit ihrer ländlichen Geschichte über Verkleidung und romantische Intrigen, ihren fröhlichen Melodien, lebhaften Charakteren und ihrer farcenhaften Komödie ist Celliers leichte Oper Dorothy heute fast völlig in Vergessenheit geraten. Sie hatte die längste Spielzeit aller Musiktheaterstücke des 19. Jahrhunderts, als sie sich von The Mikado und Ruddigore verabschiedete, und wurde zu ihrer Zeit ein so beliebter Hit, dass mit den Einnahmen aus dem Kartenverkauf der Bau des Lyric Theatre in der Londoner Shaftsbury Avenue finanziert werden konnte.
