HMS Pinafore London tickets
The Olivier award nominated opera made a splash when it premiered four years ago, and now HMS Pinafore returns to London for a strictly limited run. Book your official tickets now.
About HMS Pinafore
Set sail on a wave of laughter with HMS Pinafore, Gilbert & Sullivan’s iconic comic opera filled with romance, satire, and seafaring shenanigans. This hilarious revival dives into a love triangle aboard a Royal Navy warship, where issues of class, rank, and duty collide with heartfelt emotion and witty wordplay - all delivered in the duo’s unmistakable slapstick style.
Follow Captain Corcoran and his daughter Josephine as she finds herself torn between societal expectations and true love. With a forbidden romance, plans to elope, and a twist that turns everything on its head, this laugh-out-loud production is not to be missed.
It’s worth the applause!

Latecomers - if you are late, you will be able to view the performance on a TV monitor whilst our staff wait for an appropriate point in the performance to allow you to enter the auditorium and take your seat.
