HMS Pinafore Outdoor Opera at Stafford Castle

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]

Ahoy there. This looks like fun. Never has Gilbert and Sullivan been more groovy, in this over-the-top production of ‘H.M.S. PINAFORE’ coming to STAFFORD CASTLE for a unique outdoor performance this summer.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ’an irresistible staging’ – The Stage

Performed in the grounds of Stafford Castle this production promises an evening of rollicking choruses and tender tunes imbued with the unique wit and infectious energy of a Charles Court Opera production to be enjoyed by all ages. ​​

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ’Hilarious, pocket-sized and joke-packed updating of the Gilbert and Sullivan operetta proves class and snobbery are never out of fashion’ – Culture Whisper

WHAT’S IT ABOUT

H.M.S Pinafore still remains a firm favourite with audiences.

It contains some of Sullivan’s sunniest music and tells the story of Josephine the Captain’s daughter and her love for a lowly sailor Ralph Rackstraw, despite being promised in marriage to the First Lord of the Admiralty, Sir Joseph Porter.

Gilbert uses the strictly hierarchical society of life on board the HMS Pinafore to satirise the rigidity of the British Class system.
