Reviews
Stage Whispers
"Production, performers, orchestra and audience alike benefit from the company’s splendid new home; a well kept secret, this beautiful theatre with its generous orchestra pit, cosy auditorium and spacious stage, is just a stone’s throw from North Sydney Railway Station and the harbour...The new stage also provides a larger ensemble than we’re accustomed to with this company, more space for a bit of welcome exuberance. There’s so much to enjoy about the principal performances." - Neil Litchfield |
Sydney Arts Guide
"Directed by Elizabeth Lowrencev and under the graceful , inspired musical direction of maestro Rod Mounjed this is a production that vocally and musically delights and enchants...A most impressive and delightful production full of British patriotism and rollicking enjoyment that upholds the stirring tradition of the British (and Australian ) navy." Lynne Lancaster |
Weekend Notes
"Produced by Gilbert & Sullivan Opera Sydney (formally known as the Savoy Arts Company), the well-known work is successfully brought to the stage by a strong ensemble within the company...The accompaniment of a live orchestra was wonderful, as it truly elevated the quality of the show and sounded magnificent in the theatre." - Katherine Thomas |
What's on Sydney
"The ship that is HMS Pinafore sailed into Sydney, with a glorious set and stunning costumes, in a very traditional presentation of this classic. It's important to note that no microphones were used, and we heard every word." - Ben Oxley |
