Directed by Misty Bermudez, conducted by Dr. Leo Walz, and performed by MDC Kendall Opera Theater Ensemble, H.M.S. Pinafore was the first collaboration between famed partners W.S. Gilbert and Arthur Sullivan. Since its London premiere in 1878, H.M.S. Pinafore has charmed audiences with its humorous tale of love between different social classes. This nautical romance filled with endearing characters and memorable tunes kicks off when the Captain of the Pinafore makes arrangements for his daughter to marry the Lord Admiral of the Navy. Difficulties arise between father and daughter when she reveals her love for a low ranking seaman aboard the ship. Ironically the Captain finds himself in a similar position as he is falling for a dockside vendor called Little Buttercup. As in many of the Gilbert and Sullivan operas, an astonishing disclosure changes everything in the end.
