For most of the 20th century, the D'Oyly Carte Opera performed HMS Pinafore with a companion piece, Trial by Jury. Opera Australia re-unites these long-standing stage-mates with two fresh productions and an inspired cast.
While HMS Pinafore was Gilbert and Sullivan’s first full-length satirical work and first major international success, Trial by Jury was their first collaboration – the show’s outrageous antics made it the toast of London.
In this filmed recording, Anthony Warlow, Australia’s musical theatre superstar, is at the helm as both the “right good captain” and the “good judge” too. He is joined by a stellar cast featuring David Hobson, John Bolton Wood and Colette Mann as “dear little Buttercup”.
