HMS Pinafore

Set sail with Southgate Opera for their production of Gilbert and Sullivan’s much loved comic masterpiece, HMS Pinafore.

HMS Pinafore combines Gilbert’s trademark wit and Sullivan’s memorable melodies in this story of love, ambition and the absurdities of social status. See passengers and crew navigate matters of the heart, duty and identity as familiar Gilbert and Sullivan chaos unfolds.

Captain Corcoran dreams of securing a brilliant match for his daughter Josephine, but she has fallen for the lowly sailor Ralph Rackstraw rather than the distinguished Sir Joseph Porter. As loyalties are tested and secrets emerge, can love really cross the boundaries of rank?

Featuring some of Gilbert and Sullivan’s most enduring music including I’m Called Little Buttercup and He Is an Englishman, this witty and charming production retains all the humour and warmth audiences adore.

Performed with Southgate Opera’s trademark live orchestral accompaniment and excellent singers, HMS Pinafore promises an evening of laughter, romance and unforgettable music. Book now and join us on board!
