Derek Oldham was an English tenor, closely associated with the D’Oyly Carte Gilbert and Sullivan tradition and with British light opera.

In the Pristine catalogue he appears in The Mikado, H.M.S. Pinafore and The Pirates of Penzance, preserving early Savoy opera performance practice.

Oldham’s singing brought clarity, charm and diction to repertory in which the words must dance as neatly as the music.

His page is justified by repeated catalogue presence and Savoy significance. Oldham gives the Gilbert and Sullivan shelf a bright tenor smile.
