⭐ GILBERT & SULLIVAN’S HMS PINAFORE ANNOUNCED FOR ENO 2021/22 SEASON – STARRING LES DENNIS ⭐
A new production of Gilbert and Sullivan’s HMS Pinafore has been announced as part of ENO’s 2021/22 season.
Gilbert and Sullivan’s comic opera HMS Pinafore is a hilarious tale of love, honour and duty.
Packed with absurd characters, unforeseen plot twists and a delightfully farcical finale, Pinafore is a satirical take on the British class system and the promotion of unqualified people to positions of power.
When Josephine, the daughter of Captain Corcoran, falls for the lowly sailor Ralph Rackstraw, she’s torn between her heart’s true love, and her desire to honour her father’s wish for her to marry Sir Joseph Porter, the First Lord of the Admiralty.
Cal McCrystal returns to ENO to direct this new production following his smash-hit staging of G&S’s Iolanthe.
Making his operatic debut as Sir Joseph is the actor and entertainer Les Dennis. He is joined by John Savournin as Captain Corcoran, with ENO Harewood Artists Elgan Llŷr Thomas and Alexandra Oomens as Ralph and Josephine.
The production will feature set and costumes by takis, choreography by Lizzi Gee, lighting design by Tim Mitchell with ENO favourite Chris Hopkins conducting.
HMS Pinafore will play the London Coliseum, running from 29th October – 11th December 2021.
Fabulous! ! !
