H.M.S. Pinafore
Music by Arthur Sullivan, Libretto by W.S. Gilbert
February 13 – March 19, 2027
Spirited satire, romance, and mischief aboard a Royal Navy ship.
Sarasota Opera's inaugural staging of a Gilbert and Sullivan work, H.M.S. Pinafore is a cornerstone of Victorian comic operetta, where questions of love and social rank spark humor and delight. At the center of this story, set aboard a British Navy ship, is the earnest sailor Ralph Rackstraw and Josephine, the captain's daughter, whose affection challenges the strict hierarchies of their world. The uproarious satire includes witty patter songs and memorable melodies that make it a perennial favorite for audiences of all ages.
