English operatic baritone and actor best remembered for creating roles
in the 1890s with the D’Oyly Carte Opera Company.As a boy, Fishe was
a chorister with the Chapel Royal. After beginning his professional
stage career, he was hired in 1891 by Richard D'Oyly Carte for the
chorus of Arthur Sullivan's grand opera Ivanhoe. He soon toured in
South America with other D'Oyly Carte artistes, performing in comic
operas and surviving a shipwreck off the coast of Chile.In 1892, Fishe
played leading roles with the D'Oyly Carte Opera Company and in other
West End companies, but from spring 1893, he performed exclusively
with D'Oyly Carte. Although he had begun to suffer from tuberculosis,
he created several roles, most notably in Gilbert and Sullivan's last
two operas: Mr. Goldbury in Utopia, Limited (1893) and the Prince of
Monte Carlo in The Grand Duke (1896). He played the title role in
several revivals of The Mikado. In 1896, he travelled to South Africa
for a D'Oyly Carte tour. There, he fell ill again, but he was able to
return to the stage briefly at the end of 1897, after which run his
health deteriorated. R. Scott Fishe Biography, NetWorth, Height, Age, Weight, Family, Married, Son, Daughter
