HMS Pinafore
Why see HMS Pinafore?
John Savident (Coronation Street, National Theatre) leads the Carl Rosa Opera Company in this nautical tale of a lass that loved a sailor. A hilarious tale of love, hypocrisy and mistaken identity unravels when the Captain’s daughter falls secretly in love with a common sailor.
Pledged by her father to marry the head of the British Navy -Sir Joseph Porter - young Josephine finds herself hopelessly torn between love and duty.
But a remarkable twist of fate changes all, when a long-kept secret is let slip, somersaulting our heroes into a heady climax of fun, frivolity and fortune.
A musical delight that everyone will enjoy, this sea-faring smash-hit show performed by Carl Rosa Opera’s superb cast and orchestra is bursting with Gilbert’s brilliant satirical wit and packed with some of Sullivan’s most popular songs.
