THE D'OYLY CARTE OPERA COMPANY

(Mr.) Bickersteth (1879-80, 1885)

Mr. Bickersteth was a chorister who filled in on occasion as Bill Bobstay during the first run of H.M.S. Pinafore at the Opera Comique. He appears to have returned to the D'Oyly Carte chorus in 1885 at the Savoy, as his name appears in the Savoy stage manager's prompt book for The Mikado.
