Baritone chorister Robert Caradoc, whose full name was Robert Caradoc Jones, toured with an unidentified D'Oyly Carte company in 1893 and with D'Oyly Carte Opera Company "A" from July to December 1894.

In between, Caradoc made infrequent appearances in London Stage programs:as a member of the crowd in court in a matinee performance of Trial by Jury in the Ellen Terry Jubilee celebration at Drury Lane in June 1906, and as Ulrich in Princess Caprice at the Shaftesbury Theatre, December 1912-January 1913.
