H.M.S. Pinafore

Lamplighters  Music Theatre open their 59th Season in Portsmouth Harbor with Gilbert & Sullivan’s first blockbuster hit, H.M.S. Pinafore. Audiences will board one of England’s great Navy ships where the beautiful Josephine must choose between marrying Sir Joseph Porter, the First Lord of the Admiralty - with all of the wealth, prestige and power his title affords - or the “simple sailor, lowly born” who has won her heart. Gilbert devised the plot to make fun of patriotism, social class snobbery and incompetence in high places, and over 130 years later we can still laugh! Many years later H.M.S. Pinafore is still one of the most popular operettas ever produced.
