The Savoy Theatre closed in 1903, and was reopened under the management of John Leigh and Edward Laurillard from February 1904 (beginning with a musical, "The Love Birds") to December 1906. The D'Oyly Carte Opera Company returned to the Savoy for repertory seasons between 1906 and 1909, in which year C. H. Workman took over the management of the theatre. He produced, among other works, Gilbert's final opera, with music by German, "Fallen Fairies" in 1909–10, which ran for only 51 performances. He also produced "Two Merry Monarchs" and "Orpheus and Eurydice" in 1910, the latter of which starred Marie Brema and Viola Tree in the title roles. The D'Oyly Carte Opera Company did not play in the theatre from 1909 until 1929, instead touring throughout Britain and playing London seasons in other theatres; other works held the stage of the Savoy. George Augustus Richardson managed the theatre from November 1911 to February 1915. "The Mikado's" record as the Savoy's longest-running production was broken by the comedy "Paddy the Next Best Thing" by Gertrude Page, which played for 867 performances from April 1920.
