Meh. The woman is a very good singer, but the other two are incredibly average. And they're just SPEEDING through this WAY too fast. Awful pacing. THIS version is way better imo: czcams.com/video/RIiQpQgka1A/video.html

I went to Coatbridge High School in Scotland and this is where I was introduced to Gilbert and Sullivan. The seniors, under the direction of Mr. Cuthbertson, performed a different one each year, and I was smitten! Loved this!
I have to Say that This is by far one of my favorite Videos of this song, This is one my favorite songs of all time. Thank you This is why i want to go to Australia to see This amazing Theatre
These three are great! I love every part of how they performed this song. The costumes look amazing and they all look great in them, they sound amazing, and I love the dancing and the way they interact with each other and I love all their facial expressions. It's just all very well done!
I doubt very much that it's effortless but they do manage to make it look as if it was. Which is basically really just part of their job, but I must say they do a nice job. ^___^
I remember seeing a version where she has one glass too many and ends up saying "and the tar who plows the daughter", causing her father to spit out his drink.
HMS Pinafore is one of G&S's masterpieces to be sure, but this song is one of my favorites from their works because it seems to have a message and story within it that's strong enough to stand by itself. You don't have to be familiar with the story of Pinafore to understand the message of love overcoming class distinctions in this song.
You do have to be able to hear the words and understand the song though. Luckily it's generally very audible in most versions including this one. I have several G&S favorite songs and this is one of them. 😍
Exactly! Which is why it does NOT need all of the extra dancing and choreographical adornment. The tossing champagne glasses was actually quite amusing & fine as well as the "struggling" with the bell. But these performers ALL sang very well .. the audience should be focused on Sullivan's fine melodies & Gilbert's razor sharp witty lyrics! They did not need any further antics.
I understood the words well enough but then I already knew the words. If they're doing it right then the words should be not *much* hard to understand (except for some of the patter songs when they go really fast).
Takes me back to when I used to play this song over and over on audiotape. Now I get to do that on CZcams. 😍😊😚 Love how they just casually toss those glasses over their shoulders. 😉😜😘 (Okay, it's maybe a bit too "privileged" of them, but it's still cute. 😉)
@@robertmwoodley1502 Oh, I don't think he's serious. That's a good one though, hadn't heard it before. I worked with John Reed years ago and the best part of it was listening to his many anecdotes about the D'Oyly Carte company. They would mischievously sing things like 'Oh Joy, oh Rapture unforeseen, my underwear has come back clean...'
God, you can tell how much fun the actors are having with their roles. Reminds me of the Essegee version, you can just F E E L the playful energy.
The DEFINITIVE Pinafore performance, from beginning to end 🎉
It is almost 150 years since the first performance on the 25 May 1878, at the Opera Comique, London...
This is by far the best adaptation of H M S Pinafore I have seen, the Aussies know how to put on a show the catching of the glasses quite brilliant.
I like this version of the song a bit better

I agree.
My husband sang the part of Capt. Corcoran and at that time we adopted our first rescue dachshund and we named her Josephine.
Why I've been an operahund for decades, intend to adopt two jack Russell's and name them.Gilbert and Sullivan.
G & S done superbly!

Hi Maxine. Fabulous series of operas, aren't they? As brilliant as they are unique. Peter A
Hello Maxine, Thanks for brining back memories, I also went to " The Albert " many years ago ( 1952 - 55 ))

It all looks like they are having the time of their lives on stage as well...
Effortless, natural, comical whimsical connectedness. Bravo!

Yeah, I love how the Captain reacts with surprise and annoyance at her mention of the tar 😂 I haven't noticed that in any other performances.

This performance is the best: I have never seen it bettered.

Context with the rest of the story helps. This song isn't about the Lord and daughter

But these performers ALL sang very well .. the audience should be focused on Sullivan's fine melodies & Gilbert's razor sharp witty lyrics! They did not need any further antics.
Wow, that is a soprano!
Tiffany Speight
Yeah, Tiff is a cool chick.
A true bel canto can belto; so stated Bev Sills
Excellent stuff. It's wonderful to see that you are true to G&S , they would approve!
I played Sir Joseph in 1972 in Stafford, England.

Love this rendition. My only wish is that it was longer!
These actors are very fine singers!!
always gets stuck in my head!!
Splendid, simply splendid in every respect. Thank you very much indeed.
This is amazing. One of my favorite versions.
Sir Joseph on every chorus: "Eh? What's that?"
That's how it's written.
I saw this production. Anthony warlow was amazing
Exquisite!
These three kill me!
Bought the DVD of this
Excellent.
Ngl why is the moustache giving me John Cleese vibes, send help, I can't unsee it after first imagining it.
Wonderful performance
Anthony Warlow can do no wrong.
My sweet lord! That is one impressive Soprano! What’s her name?
Good catch by the sailors at 1:34 :)
SHowing the lyrics, as on some operas, might not be a bad idea. G&S deserve to be understood.
I understood the words well enough but then I already knew the words.
If they're doing it right then the words should be not *much* hard to understand (except for some of the patter songs when they go really fast).
Often OA does have surtitles above the stage. Not sure if this production did, but I recall that Pirates did.
Takes me back to when I used to play this song over and over on audiotape.
Now I get to do that on CZcams. 😍😊😚
Love how they just casually toss those glasses over their shoulders. 😉😜😘
(Okay, it's maybe a bit too "privileged" of them, but it's still cute. 😉)
Brilliant!! Not too much Tom Foolery-Just right! Nice choreography and a lovely soprano.
Does anyone know where I can find the whole show of this production? It used to be on CZcams but I can't find it!
I know! I'm so bummed they took it down. Anthony Warlow is a treat. Great production and my favorite version of "Sorry Her Lot."
Apparently you can get it online on dvd 👍
Great balance of stage and voice
I have it!
Any chance you could share it? Please :-)
Opera Australia, Melbourne, I think
it was grea
t
in this video who are the 3 actors? i cant recall where I've seen these 3 people faces from before.
I can give you an answer for Corcoran. That's the great Anthony Warlow from Jekyll and Hyde the musical and Phantom of the Opera.
@@keetard oh I did managed to find them as well after this comment. But thanks.
@@keetard Tiffany Speight and John Bolton-Wood
So H.M.S. Pinafore has Navy Sailors while Pirates of Penzance has Pirates??
Yes, and Iolanthe has the entire house of Lords.
@@thomasw.eggers4303 And "Patience" has a platoon of dragoons. And "The Gondoliers" has...well...gondoliers...
Please tell us the names of the three singers, and tell us where the performance took place. Many thanks. Robert
Anthony Warlow (captain Corcoran), Tiffany Speight (his daughter), John Bolton-Wood (sir Joseph Porter, KCB, First Lord of the Admiralty).
Who’s Josephine in this??
that's Linda Ronstadt, right?
Tiffany Speight.
Ronstadt starred in Pirates of Penzance on Broadway.
Where are the lines
"For a tar who ploughs the daughter"
"What?!"
Is it not in the original?
No. I've only ever heard that in one production, and I have heard dozens of productions and even appeared in one in the chorus.
The original was performed in London in the late 19th century. A line like that would never have gotten past the theatre censors!

@@kennethwayne6857 in our school productions swearing was achieved by moving the lips to "muddy buckets of pitch"! Sensilbilities intact!
I heard "For a tar who ploughs the *water* ". I even listened to it again when I saw your comment; she's making a "w" sound.
