GILBERT & SULLIVAN: HMS Pinafore and Trial by Jury - Opera Australia, Melbourne Chorus, Orchestra Victoria (DVD)

Anthony Warlow; David Hobson; Colette Mann; John Bolton Wood; Tiffany Speight; Ali McGregor

Orchestra Victoria; Andrew Greene

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".
