HMS Pinafore in London
Packed with absurd characters, unforeseen plot twists and a delightfully farcical finale, HMS Pinafore is a satirical take on the British class system and the promotion of unqualified people to positions of power. When Josephine, the daughter of Captain Corcoran, falls for the lowly sailor Ralph Rackstraw, she’s torn between her heart’s true love, and her desire to honour her father’s wish for her to marry Sir Joseph Porter, the First Lord of the Admiralty.
Fans of Gilbert and Sullivan won’t want to miss this iconic, laugh-out-loud opera, which was the first of their shows to find global success. Cal McCrystal’s revival of this nautical comedy first premiered in 2021, praised for its ‘endlessly mischievous staging’ by The Times and called ‘enormous fun’ by The Stage. ENO-favourite and Gilbert and Sullivan expert John Savournin reprises his role as Captain Corcoran, and award-winning bass baritone Neal Davis stars as Sir Joseph Porter. So hop aboard to catch this fast-paced and quintessentially British opera, featuring some of the most recognisable operatic music in the world.

a good show but difficult to hear the actors talking, there seems a need for more amplification of speech but the singing was okay
