HMS PINAfore
BY GILBERT & SULLIVAN
A CO-PRODUCTION WITH OPERA HOLLAND PARK
9 - 13 AUGUST 2022

It was never going to be plain sailing

Your father is a captain and the Admiral of the Fleet wants to marry you. So how do you tell them that a mere able seaman has captured your heart? A flagship of Gilbert and Sullivan’s fleet of comic operas, HMS Pinafore is a tangled tale of love that cheekily defies the social and naval hierarchy.
It follows in the wake of The Pirates of Penzance, 2021’s rip-roaring collaboration between Charles Court Opera and Opera Holland Park.
