Sail the high seas with the quirky crew of Gilbert and
Sullivan’s HMS Pinafore! This comic operetta is a worldwide
favourite, adding a nautical spin to the classic ‘boy meets
girl, boy can’t get girl because of her higher social
station’ story. When young Josephine, daughter of the
Captain, falls in love with a lower-class sailor Ralph
Rackstraw, mayhem ensues as the two lovers try to elope…
while at sea!
Edmonton Opera presents a delightful new production of this
beloved topsy-turvy journey, reimagined in the extravagant
1920s Jazz Age by Cinderella director Rob Herriot. With
jazzy new musical arrangements by Ed Windels, this is HMS
Pinafore like you've never seen — or heard — before!
