About this listen

Dive into the whimsical world of H.M.S. Pinafore; or, The Lass That Loved a Sailor, a delightful comic opera penned by the brilliant duo of Arthur Sullivan and W. S. Gilbert. Premiering in London on May 25, 1878, this enchanting tale captivated audiences for an impressive 571 performances, marking it as a milestone in musical theatre history. Though this isnt the opera itself, it is a charming adaptation by Gilbert titled The Story of HMS Pinafore, or The Pinafore Picture Book, featuring enchanting illustrations by Alice B. Woodward. Here, you’ll find Gilberts clever prose and poetry, complete with humorous asides, bringing the story to life without the music. Explore the witty narrative by following the archive.org link to the beautifully scanned book! (Summary by Wikipedia and ToddHW)
