Richard D'Oyly Carte who built the Savoy Theatre to produce the Gilbert and Sullivan operas. The first so produced being 'Patience'. The D'Oyly Carte family continued to hold the copyright of the G&S operas until it expired.

While much of Gilbert and Sullivan is suitable for children, none of their operettas were written FOR children.
The actual line is, "When I was a lad, I served a term / as office-boy to an attorney's firm." It's the entrance aria of Sir Joseph Porter, K.C.B., the "ruler of the queen's navee," and is probably the most famous number from one of Gilbert and Sullivan's best-known operettas, H.M.S. Pinafore, or The Lass That Loved a Sailor. It doesn't open the operetta, however; the sailor's chorus "We Sail the Ocean Blue" opens the first act.
The last opera to be written together by W.S. Gilbert and Arthur Sulllivan was "The Grand Duke, or The Statutory Duel." The complex plot about a troupe of players deposing the stingy Grand Duke of Pfennig-Halbpfennig (a fictional central European country) was written in 1896. It's plot is repetitive, with two songs provided to explain each of several plot developments. Sullivan's music is slightly reminescent of the style later associated with Viennese light opera, as his work was changing to reflect changing times and tastes.
