Percy Anderson (designer)

[1] His first significant production was the comic opera Lady of the Locket, composed by William Fullerton Jr. with a libretto by Henry Hamilton.

He continued to design costumes for D'Oyly Carte revivals in the early twentieth century, including for Trial by Jury, H.M.S.

Pinafore, The Pirates of Penzance, Patience, Iolanthe, Princess Ida, Ruddigore, The Yeomen of the Guard, and The Gondoliers.

He was part of a circle of rich, artistic homosexual men, who included Lord Ronald Gower, the courtier Alec Yorke and Hamilton Aïdé.

[9] The Times, in its obituary notice, said that Anderson "escaped from the pedantry of his predecessors and paved the way in the most interesting manner" for a new generation of designers such as Bakst, Claud Lovat Fraser and Edward Gordon Craig.
