THE D'OYLY CARTE OPERA COMPANY

Arthur Marcel (1890)

[Born 15 Apr]

Baritone Arthur Marcel was engaged by D'Oyly Carte to appear on January 7, 1890, as Luiz in the first American production of The Gondoliers at the Park Theatre, New York. The production was a popular, critical, and financial failure. It closed in February, and when it was remounted at Palmer's Theatre later that month Marcel was no longer in the cast. His short career after D'Oyly Carte included a lengthy tour in Cellier's Dorothy and a spell treading the music hall boards.
