I saw the G&S tag in your list, since I'm still finding my way around your amazing blog! Went there (that is, here) and saw the reference to d'Oyly Carte -- and was tickled to discover a second occurance of the name in the past 24 hours.
Yesterday we saw a reading of "Before Oscar was Wilde," a theatre production at Kennedy Center's annual Page to Stage festival. It was presented by the Center's Kenan Fellowship, which underwrote the script. The focus is on Wilde's letters and journal about his 1870s lecture tour of the U.S. (30 or more cities and towns, including Leadville, CO, in the midst of its silver boom)-- under the aegis of D'Oyly Carte.
Small world! And the piece was wonderful -- presumably to be produced SOMEWHERE in the near future.
Magical name -- d'Oyly Carte
