Comic Opera in Two Acts
Sung in English with English Surtitles

Arthur Sullivan | Composer
W. S. Gilbert | Librettist

H.M.S. Pinafore, a beloved comic opera by Gilbert and Sullivan, hilariously explores themes of love, honour, and social class. The story follows Ralph Rackstraw, a lowly sailor, and Josephine, the Captain‘s daughter, who secretly love each other despite her father‘s wish for her to marry the pompous Sir Joseph Porter. Filled with infectious tunes and witty dialogue, the opera’s satire and romantic entanglements promise an evening of delightful entertainment. With mistaken identities, secret plans, and unexpected twists, H.M.S. Pinafore is a must-see for anyone who enjoys a captivating and humorous tale.
