100 years of D'Oyly Carte and Gilbert and Sullivan (1975).
“

It interprets "I do not subscribe to the theory that when a popular member of the company leaves, it is the end of the world — that things will never be the same again. Of course they won't, for each artist leaves something of himself or herself in a role." in the context of "100 years of D'Oyly Carte and Gilbert and Sullivan (1975)." to mean that wisdom is timeless.
