This brilliant operetta premiered
in the summer of
1878 and 125 years later
has lost none of its power
to delight and amuse. It is a hilarious tale
of love, hypocrisy and mistaken
identities that unravels
aboard the HMS Pinafore
when the Captain’s daughter
falls secretly in love with a
common sailor. Pledged by
her father to marry the
mighty Sir Joseph Porter, the
‘ruler of the Queen’s Navy,’
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.
Direct from a sold-out United Kingdom
tour, this smash hit show is a new production
performed by the internationally
acclaimed Carl Rosa Company, Britain’s
oldest opera company. Famed actor Timothy
West directs a superb cast and orchestra.
Bring the whole family and join in the fun
when this sea-faring show, bursting with
Gilbert’s brilliant satiric wit and packed
with some of Sullivan’s most popular
songs, sets sail on the Staller Center stage.
