HMS Pinafore
Gilbert and Sullivan’s comic opera HMS PINAFORE is returning to the London Coliseum. All aboard HMS PINAFORE for this hilarious revival of Gilbert & Sullivan’s nautical love triangle, where the comic opera duo navigate the tricky waters of class, rank, patriotism and power, in their signature slapstick style. This laugh-out-loud opera is set aboard the Royal Navy warship HMS PINAFORE. And while the ship remains anchored in Portsmouth, it didn’t stop the opera reaching international shores and becoming the first of Gilbert & Sullivan’s operas to find global success. Following its premiere in 2021, this Cal McCrystal production was nominated for an Olivier Award for Set and Costume Design in the Outstanding Achievement in Opera category. With its fast pace, topical humour and quintessential Britishness, the score includes some of the most popular operatic music in the world, enjoyed both on stage and featuring in popular TV shows like The Simpsons and The West Wing. If quick-fire humour floats your boat, we think you’ll love HMS PINAFORE. Following his success in The Yeomen of the Guard and Così fan tutte, award-winning British bass baritone Neal Davis returns to ENO to play the Rt. Hon Sir Joseph Porter, the First Lord of the Admiralty. Neal is joined on board by ENO-favourite and G&S expert John Savournin who reprises the role of Captain Corcoran, while his daughter Josephine is played by Harewood Artist Henna Mun. The love triangle is completed by able-seaman Ralph Rackstraw played by Thomas Atkins fresh from his successful performance as Nemorino in ENO’s 2024 production of The Elixir of Love. This first revival of a much-loved comedic tale is directed by theatre director and actor Cal McCrystal and conducted by Matthew Kofi Waldren, former Mackerras Conducting Fellow who previously conducted ENO’s Olivier Award-nominated production of Blue.

About Perform Perform was launched in 2000 as a new kind of drama school - one that has child development at its very heart. The founders, Will Barnett and Lucy Quick, both had a passion for the performing arts and wanted to create a unique organisation to help build children's self-esteem and life skills. Starting with two schools in Primrose Hill and Islington, Perform has grown to over 350 venues across London and the South and West of England. It now encompasses hundreds of weekly classes for 4-7s and 7-12s, holiday courses and Perform for Schools - a thriving programme of workshops in primary schools. At Perform, we embrace the uniqueness of every child, offering a distinctive blend of drama, dance and singing to unlock their true potential. Our ethos is simple: focus on happiness and fulfilment, recognising that each child's journey is their own. Rather than teaching rigorous techniques, memorisation and repetition to produce a 'perfect performance', Perform uses drama-based games, exercises, songs and dances in an imaginative and fun way to help boost child development. With Perform, you're not just enrolling your child in a drama class; you're giving them a space to thrive, learn and have fun. Perform is more than just a drama school; it's a community dedicated to nurturing creativity and confidence in children through a unique curriculum of original content, imaginative games and fun exercises. With over 350 venues across the UK, our centrally-run approach ensures consistent quality and care, making Perform the ideal place for your child to grow. Discover the Perform difference and watch your child shine.
