Event Description
Set sail into music history with HMS Pinafore!
Never seen a Gilbert and Sullivan operetta? Loyal fan? You are in for a treat either way! There's a reason this famous duo's works are still performed more than 100 years after their era. Fantastic music which will have you humming for days, impeccably witty dialogue and lyrics, wonderful costumes and our talented singers make for a fun frolic through the foibles of Victorian England.
Far from being dated, the banter is as relevant today as it was on London's Savoy stage 100 years ago. Last year's four shows sold out at both the Victoria and Sidney venues, so secure your tickets early. Musical direction by Peter Butterfield and stage direction by Heather Lee. This is a variation on the semi-staged version we did last season.
There are two shows at Dave Dunnet Theatre (April 5 at 7:30 PM and April 6 at 2:00 PM ): https://www.eventbrite.ca/cc/victoria-gilbert-and-sullivan-society-productions-3803463
