Frederick Bovill
Frederick Bovill was an operatic baritone of the late Victorian era best known for his work in the Savoy Operas of Gilbert and Sullivan.
Little is known of his life. A baritone, Bovill created the role of Pish-Tush in ''The Mikado'' (1885)〔(Frederick Bovill in the G & S Opera website )〕 and the Squire in Sullivan's romantic opera ''Ivanhoe'' (1891).〔(Wearing, J.P. ''The London Stage 1890-1899: A Calendar of Productions, Performers, and Personnel'' Scarecrow Press (2013) pg 91 ''Google Book'' )〕
==The Mikado==
In the original production of ''The Mikado'' it was intended that Bovill should sing the bottom line in the madrigal “Brightly dawns our wedding day”, which includes a bottom F. However, as a light baritone Bovill was unable to reach this note, so the character of Go-To, another "Noble Lord" together with Pish-Tush, was created to sing in this number alone, and the necessary change made to the cast list.〔('The Mikado Trivia' - University of Aberdeen Gilbert & Sullivan website )〕〔(Hudston, Sara ''Victorian Theatricals'' A&C Black (2014) pg 282 ''Google Books'' )〕〔(Ainger, Michael ''Gilbert and Sullivan : A Dual Biography: A Dual Biography'' Oxford University Press (2002) pg 245 ''Google Books'' )〕
The ''Illustrated Sporting and Dramatic News'' said of him in ''The Mikado'', "Mr. Frederick Bouvill (sic) is a trifle heavy as Pish Tush, but has a very good voice and knows how to make use of it", while ''The Theatre'' said "Mr. Bovill (the other recruit) proved an excellent representative of the "general utility" noble Lord, Pish-Tush. This gentleman possesses a fine mellow voice, which he produces very agreeably, and is in all respects an acquisition to the Savoy company.〔('Our Musical-Box' - ''The Theatre'' 1 April 1885 pgs 186-190 )〕
