Doris (opera)

It opened at the Lyric Theatre in London on 20 April 1889 and ran for 202 performances and was produced, like Dorothy, by Henry J. Leslie.

It starred Arthur Williams, Ben Davies, Alice Barnett, Hayden Coffin, Furneaux Cook and John Le Hay.

[1] The New York Times review stated: Another critic concluded, "The libretto of Doris is so feeble that I misdoubt even Cellier's music, the splendid mounting of the piece, and the interesting Elizabethan processions pulling it through.

"[3] Act I: Highgate Hill, London Sir Philip Carey is a fugitive, having been accused of participating in a plot against Queen Elizabeth I.

When Martin realises that his jealousy is unfounded, he remorsefully dons the fugitive's original clothes and is arrested in his place.
