Carl Rosa Opera Company: HMS Pinafore March 28, 2008

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. 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.
