Birmingham Savoyards present Ruddigore

If you're a #gilbertandsullivan fan, you might want to check out Birmingham Savoyards' production of Ruddigore coming to the Old Rep next month: www.weekendnotes.co.uk/birmingham-s...

Here are the original 1880 orchestrations for the #Overture from #GilbertAndSullivan ’s #ThePiratesofPenzance.

I’ve added flute to cover Mabel’s part, and I’ve added English horns to cover the Soprano Alto chorus representing Mabel’s sisters.

Today's #earworm:
You know how kids will get hooked on a record and play it over and over? Pirates was one of mine. I'm pretty sure I still know the entire libretto by heart. This D'Oyley Carte recording came out the year I was born. 😅

The UK had a furore over a fake Admiral at #RemembranceDay in #Llandudno, while #KingCharlie was an authorised fake #FieldMarshal in Whitehall.

But inbreeding is not the UK's approved only path to fake military rank.

#GilbertAndSullivan's "Sir Joseph Porter" was a parody of W.H. Smith, the […]

Happy closing performance to @seattleopera.bsky.social and Seattle Symphony's "The #Pirates of #Penzance" comedic farcical #opera by #GilbertAndSullivan at McCaw Hall. Starring David Portillo. Beautiful soprano from Vanessa Becerra.

#Theatre Melbourne’s GSOV marks 90 years with “Jubilee”: a crisp Trial by Jury paired with a witty, song-packed history of G&S in Victoria. Standout choruses, lively leads, and lush acoustic orchestra made for a charming afternoon, despite a long runtime. Agree? #GilbertAndSullivan #Melbourne

THE definitive version of the Pirates of Penzance. This version of ‘Hail Poetry’ transcended me every time.

Bit of a bargain at Waterstones for ukulele players at the moment. Copies of "The Songs of Gilbert & Sullivan for Ukulele" are on sale at £2. If you're ordering enough other stuff to pass the £25 mark then (UK) postage is free, but even if you pay the regular £2.99 postal fee it's still an […]

Our M1s are busy bringing imagination to life, crafting costumes for the Gilbert & Sullivan Society’s upcoming production of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory!

#SomersfieldAcademy #GilbertAndSullivan #CharlieAndTheChocolateFactory

I’ve had a really good weekend 🥰 I’ve introduced my sister to Gilbert and Sullivan. Y’all, if you ever did want to see Pinafore, the Opera Australia version is sooo good. I love the costumes and I love the staging and every time I watch it I have a good time. #HMSPinafore #GilbertAndSullivan

Review: Patience, Wilton’s Music Hall - Everything Theatre The Charles Court Opera delivers a wonderfully funny and energetic performance of Gilbert & Sullivan’s classic Patience, showcasing outstanding vocal and acting performances and reminding audiences…

#Review: Patience, Wiltons Music Hall ★★★★

"Fast, tongue-twisting songs, plenty of satire, and a reasonable amount of absurdity."

I always enjoy a trip to #Malvern for a few days. In this case with the National #GilbertAndSullivan opera company. Thank you.

Goofy, Donald, Mickey, Chip and Dale all re-enact HMS Pinafore. Goofy as Sir Joseph Donald as Deadeye Duck Mickey as Ralph Mickstraw Chip n Dale as sailors

So I recently joined an art contest for "Mickey & Friends in stories not done by Disney before". I picked HMS Pinafore for my piece. What do you guys think?
