Overview
New York Gilbert & Sullivan Players H.M.S. Pinafore
H.M.S. Pinafore or The Lass That Loved a Sailor is a comic opera in two acts, with music by Arthur Sullivan and a libretto by W. S. Gilbert. Originally opening at the Opera Comique in London on May 25, 1878, the H.M.S. Pinafore has become one of the most successful operas of all time. Written to be a mirthful lampooning of the once rigid British social class structure, if you've never seen the H.M.S. Pinafore, you've never seen opera like this!
