THE D'OYLY CARTE OPERA COMPANY

Agnes Macfarland (1890)

Agnes Macfarland was engaged by D'Oyly Carte to appear on January 7, 1890, as Casilda in the first American production of The Gondoliers at the Park Theatre, New York. The production was a popular, critical, and financial disaster. It closed in February, and when it was remounted at Palmer's Theatre later that month Miss Macfarland was no longer in the cast, replaced as Casilda by Norah Phyllis.
