H.M.S. Pinafore or The Lass That Loved A Sailor!

The fourth collaboration between Gilbert & Sullivan.

This opera opened May 28, 1878 at the Opera Comique. It ran for 571 performances and became a huge fad in England, as well as in America, being copied illegally by dozens of performing companies in the US, as well as being presented there by Gilbert, Sullivan and Carte themselves.

It is a gentle satire of British class dynamics and naval hierarchy set aboard the H.M.S. Pinafore, and tells the tale of the lowly sailor, Ralph Rackstraw, in love with his Captain’s daughter, Josephine. Separated by disparate social stations, is there love fated to never be? Or will a long concealed secret turn the world of the entire crew on their heads?
