The Lucky Star comic opera premieres at the Savoy Theatre

The opera received mixed reviews, praised for music but criticized for its short run and lack of audience appeal.

The Manchester Guardian praised Caryll's music for its tuneful melodies and animation, noting Passmore's comedic spirit. Despite these praises, the opera did not appeal strongly to Savoy audiences and failed to achieve a long run, ending after 143 performances.
