About 65 years ago, Ulathore Grammar School in Coventry England, put on HMS Pinafore in which I played a Cousin Hebe, very very badly. It was such an uplifting feeling to find this video with such good performers, and I was singing along with my painfully tone deaf voice.
There has been a clip of "Never mind the why and wherefore" from this available for a while, to have the whole performance is wonderful - thanks. The acting is so good.
That was a great performance! Thanks for uploading it. This was the school play at RAF Grammar School Singapore in 1968 or 69 and this brings back many wonderful memories. I never realised how humorous and clever this opera is. Now with years of experience behind me I'm very impressed and surprised.
I think it’s funniest when the production makes no attempt to square that circle. Just like it’s absurd for Corcoran and Ralph to switch costumes (and accents) when they have no idea what’s going on on deck, it’s equally absurd for a guy clearly not a day over 25 to have shared a childhood with a man clearly twice his age. Gilbert loved resolving his complicated plots with a line or two of dialogue that shouldn’t work, but does just because it’s funny.
The characters will be cast as age appropriate in the non-singing documentary version. I'm sure we all await that with ...well... Maybe better as a musical!
Hmmm... I don't know. I think this libretto - however magnificently set to music - is something of a tall tale. But yet... maybe I've been baby farmed and switched, too! I have always felt myself to be a 19th century British nobleman - in sentiment and inclinations at least. Hmmmm...
... Who was it, exactly, that sir Joseph ended up with? I thought she was one of the aunts, originally, which would be fitting and similarly degenerating to all parties.
Josephine had a beautiful voice but her singing was very affected and she made no attempt to sound young, she sounded middle aged. G&S requires acting in the singing as well as the dialogue. The others were wonderful.
@@vivianalperin5555 What a ridiculous response! As if no-one can have critical insights into a performance unless they do it themselves. So, no tenor can comment on a soprano etc... reductio ad absurdum!
Thanks! Please up "Trial by Jury" !

Thanks again ❤
What a performance!
Trial by Jury is stunning. Opera Australia the best in the world with Gilbert and Sullivan

The acting is so good.
Anthony Warlow is so good as the Captain in this production
And then look him up as Judge in ‚Trial by Jury‘ performed at exactly the same time. A miracle of versatility. A great actor in every respect
I saw this production at the Sydney Opera House. Great to be able to revisit it!
Thank you
My favorite rendition

Gorgeous production - thank you very much. Brought back memories of my high school production many many years ago!!
Wonderful, my favourite G & S
I had not heard the expression 'baby farming' before seeing Pinafore. Wikipedia has an entry on it; some bad things were done by baby farmers.
Oliver Twist started his life at a baby farm.
Astonishing performance
Absolutely superb in every way. I played Sir Joseph Porter KCB many years ago, I could have learnt a lot watching this performance first!
Bravo. Exceptionally performed and staged. Thanks for posting.
Just want to point out that Ralph is old enough to be Josephine's father, and Buttercup is old enough to be Corkaryns mother
Yes, that is the crux of buttercup swapping the rafe and the Captain
That's the absurdity of G&S, wonderful. Never mind the plot, enjoy the songs.

And don't forget that Sir Joseph is marrying his first cousin
This is quite wonderful!
25:01 - My favorite bit! :)
Love 'em.
Thank you. Great music.
enchanting music
Excellent Thank You
25:09 Sideshow Bob part
perfect!

Brilliant
Wonderful
Love Little Buttercup 😂
Buttercup oddly brings to mind Nicole Kidman in her red-haired youth - if NC had aged naturally, of course, without any beauty aids.
... Who was it, exactly, that sir Joseph ended up with? I thought she was one of the aunts, originally, which would be fitting and similarly degenerating to all parties.
According to the libretto it was his cousin
Very good. Except Buttercup!
My thoughts precisely.
Buttercup is a travesty.
The tar who ploughs the daughter…
Drilliant.
Josephine had a beautiful voice but her singing was very affected and she made no attempt to sound young, she sounded middle aged. G&S requires acting in the singing as well as the dialogue. The others were wonderful.
A brilliant production in so many ways except for David Hobson's consistently flat and nasal singing as Ralph Rackstraw.
He sings beautifully, always did.
His singing is beautiful! Let's hear YOU do it!

Isn't Ralph supposed to sound nasal and flat?
