In 2000 the briefly reconstituted D'Oyly Carte Opera Company produced "H.M.S. Pinafore" at the theatre. Donald Sutherland then starred in "Enigmatic Variations", followed by a second D'Oyly Carte season, playing "The Pirates of Penzance". In 2002, a season of "Return to the Forbidden Planet" was followed by the D'Oyly Carte productions of "Iolanthe", "The Yeomen of the Guard" and "The Mikado", and then a revival of Yasmina Reza's "Life x 3". In 2003, the company revived "Pinafore", followed by "Bea Arthur at The Savoy", John Steinbeck's "Of Mice and Men", "Peter Pan" and "Pirates". These were followed by "The Marriage of Figaro" and "The Barber of Seville" performed by The Savoy Opera Company in 2004. Next were seasons of Lorna Luft starring in "Songs My Mother Taught Me" and the new salsa musical "Murderous Instincts". Coward's "Blithe Spirit" was revived in 2004–05.
