(A New York Gilbert & Sullivan Players production presented by CAPA in association with Opera Columbus)
Ride a wave of music and laughter as romantic sailors, sisters, cousins, and aunts sing and dance their way across the deck of the fanciful British naval vessel with the improbable name. The New York Gilbert and Sullivan Players return to Columbus for yet another romp through the gentle satire and memorable signature tunes -- "I am the Monarch of the Sea," "Bell Trio," and "We Sail the Ocean Blue" -- of Gilbert and Sullivan. Set directly on the ship's deck, this energetic production offers the rich sounds of a full orchestra, chorus, and soloists who seamlessly merge the classic elegance of the musical with a contemporary sense of humor to keep the show alive and exciting for a modern audience.
In H.M.S. Pinafore, the very proper Captain Corcoran and ridiculously pompous Sir Joseph Porter preside, the villainous Dick Deadeye speaks the truth, and Little Buttercup reveals the outrageous mistake that allows true love to prevail. |
