He is an Englishman! 1:08:29

Victorian P Diddlers had a lot more class and subtlety, with speech more free, so long as the royals were more dumb than thee

58:42 One test of a production is how well they work as a chorus with "Hail Poetry!" This cast nails it. Listen to all those parts.

The soprano’s coloratura passages were not supposed to be funny. Why was the audience laughing?

Horrible.

Fantastic

I hate musicals...yet this is the 10th x I've watched this video. Can't explain it.

This contributed to my sexual awakening.

That's great fun. Thank you to all concerned.

Researching Doug Chamberlain for an EWOKS project. The man has virtually no internet presence. So I was delighted to find this! 😀

Sublime. Flawless.

There's so much to admire about this excellent production except the ridiculously fast tempi throughout. Poor Sir Joseph Porter struggles to get out his words in "When I Was a Lad" and so does the chorus.

I'm seeing it in Central City, Colorado this weekend.

The singer who plays Luiz reminds me of Justin Trudeau.

This is my favorite production... I've rewatched this 100's of times and it never disappoints!!❤❤

great production.. talented cast.. !!!

I wonder if Dick Deadeye is ugly because he says the ugly truth, and everyone hates him for it...

Great policemen, choreography and chorus.

Amazing, costumes, music, vocal quality, choreography an absolute delight! With imaginative routines too!

On reflection, not only was it the best Pirates I have seen, it was the best G&S. Stunning.

BRILLIANT! and I have been watching G&S since the 70s. The best Major General I have seen. Damned good band too.

Thank you so much for posting this. This superb production is THE BEST!! Yes G & S is wonderful music but this performance just glows in every way - singing, dancing, and sheer fun.

I echo most sentiments here that this is THE BEST PRODUCTION of The Gondoliers I have seen to date. Fantastically cast with wonderful singers. What makes it such a thrill to watch is, in my opinion, Berthold Carriere’s brisk tempi (other G&S conductors ought to take note) and the exceptional and choreography, so well executed by the cast. What lifts it in a class of its own is the addition of the 5 Commedia del Arte figures as the quasi narrators/greek chorus throughout. Brilliant. I saw it last on TV in the eighties and have been desperate to see it again and only now, miraculously, found it here on TH-cam. Same production was put on in my home city (Sydney, Australia) but, alas, it lacked the absolute zing of this vefrsion. Am thrilled to bits to have it on YT. And yeah, I’m a retired opera singer and yes, I did a few G&S in my time, including Luiz decades ago.

Such Great rendition of Pinafore

God why can’t they speak with English accents

Why would you upload this in a low resolution format? Why not in high definition? This is fuzzy and the sound is not clear.

Wonderful!

1:37:01 That song is not part of this play

I enjoyed every minute, especially the dancing and especially especially the tap routine.

The giant dolls were perfect!

will be putting on the gondoliers next week, i will be a low bass in the men's chorus. been practicing it for three months now, doing it with our local savoyards fan group. can't believe i'll be on stage with a full orchestra performing the same show i've listened to hundreds of times, in front of hundreds of people. thank you so much for uploading all of these videos! they've really helped me find my passion for G&S and now i am hooked for life.

Auditioning for this show in a couple weeks and wanted to watch it through to really get a feel. What a FUN show and a FABULOUS production! Thanks for posting!!

Well I may be crazy, but it appears as though Madonna has also seen this video . . . check out her version of "Vogue" in 1990. th-cam.com/video/lTaXtWWR16A/w-d-xo.html

I am blown away by how good the sound is - with no visible microphones! Most productions from recent decades have visible mikes attached to the singers; how is this sound so good without that? Sometimes I find myself suspecting that they're just miming to a studio recording - but surely not??

Long live The Pirate King Brent Carver❤❤

need subtitles

Sound is a disaster，The actor's voice gives me a headache

That was amazing!!!

What a wonderful performance

I've always wondered - if the new rule is that a fairy will die if she doesn't marry a mortal - doesn't making all the men into fairies doom them all?

❤❤❤

❤❤amszing hope we could see this opera morevoften

Exquisite
