HMS Pinafore at London Coliseum

All aboard for laughter and love! Gilbert & Sullivan’s HMS Pinafore returns to the London Coliseum following its Olivier Award–nominated run.

Bursting with satire, romance, and witty wordplay, this much-loved comic opera sails into London from 4 December 2025 to 7 February 2026.

With a Royal Navy warship as its stage, HMS Pinafore tells the story of Captain Corcoran’s daughter Josephine, who finds herself caught between duty and desire. Should she obey her father’s wishes and marry for rank, or follow her heart in a forbidden romance? Full of clever twists, mistaken identities, and slapstick antics, this rollicking revival is as joyous as ever.

Whether you’re a lifelong Gilbert & Sullivan fan or new to their comic genius, HMS Pinafore is a sparkling night at the opera that promises laughter, romance, and seafaring mischief.
