Bach on the Rock: HMS Pinafore

Welcome aboard the HMS Pinafore! Here we find the magic of Gilbert and Sullivan at its very best. With Gilbert's cutting wit and many-layered plots paired with Sullivan's inspired melodies which fit any lyric and any mood, it is easy to acknowledge this nautical comic opera as one of their best.

We have an array of memorable characters such as the Captain, Dick Deadeye, Sir Joseph Porter, and of course Little Buttercup, not to mention the "sisters and the cousins, and the aunts", who all poke gentle fun at the law, the government, at romance, and at the social conventions of the day. Combine this with finely-crafted music, memorable rhythms and melodies, and you are sure to be swept away in the adventures. Join us on the Quarterdeck for an evening of fun!
