Listening to this and thinking of our dear departed friend, dancing around her Fairy ring 🥹

Wonderful - thanks you from Australia. GSTK

Brilliant

That Sergeant has a gorgeous voice. As a former Sergeant myself, though, I would have been livid if the director had given the cop chorus all that distracting choreography during my number!

Hilarious

I saw an amateur production of Pirates of Penzance when I was in college (1993). When they got to the "Here's your centerbit" line they just held up a big question mark. They didn't know what it was, and this was before Google or Wikipedia.

Quite possibly the least stealthily anyone has ever stealthed.

Good fun but lacked energy. Have a look at the Australian version.

Enjoyed this.

Rolled r's are NOT ENGLISH!

Apparently, some old lady or ladies got Tom Daly, and a speedo was better than hormone replacement therapy? Your girls are barking up the wrong tree!

How refreshing to hear a G&S scene without the spoken words grrrrrooooteskkkkly ovvverrrrr-prrrrronunnnnced...!

Impossible to watch without a big smile on my face! I have virtually every recording of most of the singers here. Joy tinged with a bit of sadness.

Nice. But not helped by the Maj Gen taking off his helmet and very obviously Getting Ready For the Big Number well in advance............... :-/

Does my bomb look big in this? 😄

Not as bombastic as the… original? Is the movie the original?

Bravooo ...

Utterly brilliant. Superb performance and Gilbert was one of the cleverest poets in English.

Very, very good! Loved it.

Why is there a woman out there?

From a time when the UK influenced America and not the other way around.

magnificent and well done - from Australia

How to be cancelled in the 19c.

Disney Three Musketeers brought me here.

Disney Three Musketeers brought me here.

I wish the excerpt had shown the ghosts walking out of their frames - I'd like to see how they did it. Even though I saw a stage production, I don't remember how they did it.

Cory bear polytechnic tandon nyu metrotech has always liked gillbet and sullivan

Love this! And so glad for the subtitles.

mabel has a lovely voice reminds me nearly of helen donaldson in the essgee production that took australia by storm

Really stupid costumes and make-up.

Brings back memories of the central park production of Pirates of Penzance...all the stars of the show including the late Tony Azito reprise their roles in the film version of the central park production.

Magnificent production!!!!!! I especially like Lady Sophy's first costume.

Don t want to be pedantic but should nt it be foreman not foeman? x

recall the production when i was in college, thanks for bringing me the memory ❤❤

It’s “however well behaved “ !!

I don't know who posted this, but this is NOT "The Ghosts of Ruddigore". This is a recording of a full scale performance of Ruddigore at the Buxton G&S Festival. The Ghosts of Ruddigore is Opera della Luna's version of the show with only 7 in the cast. This is not it.

Brilliant

This is great! Would be nice to see National GSOC do Emerald Isle, so there's a decent professional recording available (admirable as the Prince Consort recording is)

o, we’re doing this song in drama, me and my friends are cops lol.

Tiresome wank. Grow up and put some kimonos on , you cowardly, pusillanimous khuntz.

Jaet

My music teacher in the early 1950s , Mr Lord , at Drummond School , introduced me to Gilbert and Sullivan ; I've been indebted to him ever since !

This proves you can't put on Mikado with a recorded orchestra, unless you have someone press pause on the CD player every time the audience laughs.

What have they done total messed it up

What were they attempting to do in this scene?

Ha ha lol!😀😄😆😅

“This royal throne of kings, this sceptered isle, This earth of majesty, this seat of Mars, This other Eden, demi-paradise, This fortress built by Nature for herself Against infection and the hand of war, This happy breed of men, this little world, This precious stone set in the silver sea, Which serves it in the office of a wall Or as a moat defensive to a house, Against the envy of less happier lands,--This blessed plot, this earth, this realm, this England.” and, we have G & S too !

The finale of Act 1 is a fabulous piece of opera. I must say that the Tokyo company's redition here brought a tear to my eye

And bloviating morons with their petulant crusades, Who attacking this production with their misguided tirades, Forgetting historicity our actors would insist, that they must be on this list! And may none of 'em be missed!

Amazing Channel. Whoa!
