Lila Cockrell Theatre
Libretto by W.S. Gilbert
This comic opera set on the high seas was the first big hit by Gilbert and Sullivan. Imbued with mirth and silliness to spare, the plot revolves around a naval captain's daughter who is in love with a lower-class foremast hand (a common sailor, well below officer rank), even though her father intends her to marry the First Lord of the Admiralty, the cabinet minister in charge of the Royal Navy. A surprise twist changes everything in the end (and they all live happily ever after).
