Editorial Review:
Description:
For most of the 20th century, the D’Oyly Carte Opera performed HMS Pinafore with a companion piece, Trial by Jury. Opera Australia re-unites these long-standing stage-mates with two fresh productions and an inspired cast. While HMS Pinafore was Gilbert and Sullivan’s first full-length satirical work and first major international success, Trial by Jury was their first collaboration - the show's outrageous antics made it the toast of London.
In this filmed recording, Anthony Warlow, Australia’s musical theatre superstar, is at the helm as both the "right good captain" and the "good judge" too. He is joined by a stellar cast featuring David Hobson, John Bolton Wood and Colette Mann as "dear little Buttercup".
Featuring: Anthony Warlow, David Hobson, Colette Mann, Tiffany Speight, John Bolton Wood, Richard Alexander, Opera Australia Melbourne Chorus, Orchestra Victoria.

What with the demise of the D'Oyly-Carte opera company, we should be grateful for these performances coming from the Australian Opera Company. Unlike so many of their DVD competitors, e.g. the Stratford Canadian productions, they aren't mischievously bent, owing to stage director vanity, on distorting the works in question. True, the Gilbert settings have been updated in each of the works here, but the wit of the librettist and the winning music of Sullivan have been maintained, so the mindless changes ... Read More

A fitting rendition to two of the greatest musicals of all time. In widescreen. Little Buttercup is a little raspy, but all-in-all, a wondeful production.
Rating: -
For G&S fans, these are terrific productions reasonably priced. The live audience participation makes it seem as if I'm there, too. There is all the joy I recall from attending G & S as a child. Gilbert & Sullivan were not about perfection but good fun.
Rating:  -
Where the music dominates the operetta, as in HMS Pinafore, Opera Australia is great. Hobson's reading of "Bright regent of the heavens" is a joy to hear. Everyone has their patter songs down pat. Colette Mann's portrayal of Buttercup was odd, but not offensive.
Where the dialogue dominates the music, as in Trial by Jury, Opera Australia alternates between annoying and incomprehensible. Much of the dialogue cannot be heard through the accents. Matching a gold digging plaintiff with Warlow's ... Read More
