    It's amazing the way that Essgee turns these classic three comic operas (Pirates and The Mikado) into fully fledged musicals.

      They make a new take, but this combination of talk, dance, and song, is a staple of the operettes from the 1800s and 1900s.
      What they do amazing is how they take the original versions and turn them into modern ones in the spirit of Gilbert & Sullivan!

      G&S were essentially the immediate precursor to the modern day musical. Their works really bear more resemblance to musicals than they do to opera.

    38:18 For those who missed it, Sir Joseph is saying 'um instead of hum, as is typical of his lowly origins, before correcting himself. This was in the original libretto, but not every performance uses that line.

      I like seeing these little touches. They help the production age like a fine wine. I grew up with the EssGee G&S trilogy, and it is one I keep coming back to with more nostalgia, particularly since Jon English died in 2016.

    Captain Corcoran, Sir Joseph, Ralph Rackstraw, and Boatswain are very talented performers. I especially enjoy the scenes with Dick Deadeye, the sailors, and Capt Corcoran. This musical opera will be studied and written about forever. Jason Barry-Smith, Drew Forsythe, Jon English, and the ensemble nailed it.

    The part at 1:18:36 isn't even from Pinafore, it's "The World is but a Broken Toy" from G&S's later operetta, Princess Ida. But since it's the most beautiful melody Sullivan ever wrote, I sure don't mind it being here. And 1:22:45 is taken from another later operetta too, Iolanthe.

    The best thing that ever happend to Gilbert & Sullivan was Ess Gee's interpretation of Little Buttercup, a type of character which was likely not allowed in Victorian England. The second best thing was to add this cadre of expert male dancers.

      @@tvaddict6623 I'm sure if someone explained to him that it was the only way to pack the Sydney Opera House for one of his shows today was to modernise it with a pop culture star he would understand. But when told he wouldn't get any money for it, even if he somehow came back to life to have the conversation, he would be furious. But then he'd get offers for millions of dollars upfront to write from every opera company in the world, so he would probably feel better about his enduring fame. The scientific community would probably offer him even more money to study why or how he came back to life tho.
