English National Opera

All aboard HMS Pinafore for this hilarious revival of Gilbert & Sullivan’s nautical love triangle, where the comic opera duo navigate the tricky waters of class, rank, patriotism and power, in their signature slapstick style.

Overview
Join Captain Corcoran and his daughter Josephine as she faces a battle between duty and love on the high seas. While her father makes plans for her to tie the knot with the suitably ranked First Lord of the Admiralty, Josephine has romantic ideas of her own. And after falling for lowly deckhand Ralph, the loved-up pair make plans to elope. That is, until a surprise revelation rocks the boat.

Staging & Score
This laugh-out-loud opera is set aboard the Royal Navy warship HMS Pinafore. And while the ship remains anchored in Portsmouth, it didn’t stop the opera reaching international shores and becoming the first of Gilbert & Sullivan’s operas to find global success. Following its premiere in 2021, this Cal McCrystal production was nominated for an Olivier Award for Set and Costume Design in the Outstanding Achievement in Opera category.

With its fast pace, topical humour and quintessential Britishness, the score includes some of the most popular operatic music in the world, enjoyed both on stage and featuring in popular TV shows like The Simpsons and The West Wing. If quick-fire humour floats your boat, we think you’ll love HMS Pinafore.

Singers & Creatives
Following his success in The Yeomen of the Guard and Così fan tutte, award-winning British bass baritone Neal Davis returns to ENO to play the Rt. Hon Sir Joseph Porter, the First Lord of the Admiralty. Neal is joined on board by ENO-favourite and G&S expert John Savournin who reprises the role of Captain Corcoran, while his daughter Josephine is played by Harewood Artist Henna Mun. The love triangle is completed by able-seaman Ralph Rackstraw played by Thomas Atkins fresh from his successful performance as Nemorino in ENO’s 2024 production of The Elixir of Love.

This first revival of a much-loved comedic tale is directed by theatre director and actor Cal McCrystal and conducted by Matthew Kofi Waldren, former Mackerras Conducting Fellow who previously conducted ENO’s Olivier Award-nominated production of Blue.

This production has been made possible through the generous support of a syndicate comprising Vincent Mercer & Anzo Francis.
