Movie Reviews of Gilbert & Sullivan - H.M.S. Pinafore / Trial By Jury - David Hobson, Anthony Warlow, Colette Mann, Tiffany Speight, John Bolton Wood, Richard Alexander, Opera Australia, State Theatre, The Arts Centre Melbourne
Movie Review: Perfect Trial by Jury, Excellent Pinafore
Summary: 4 Stars
First, Trial by Jury - this production is amazing. I've long had the CD but had never seen it performed before. It is much funnier than I'd anticipated, and all the roles were outstandingly sung and performed. In particular, David Hobson as the Defendant and Anthony Warlow as the Judge were very funny.
Pinafore, with the same cast, was also excellent - with one exception. The actress playing Buttercup croaks like a frog. Her voice actually broke in one passage. It's never good when you think to yourself, gee, *I* could sing better than that. Whoever chose to cast her needs their heads examined.
The rest of the cast, however, is outstanding. They sing beautifully and act convincingly. I particularly enjoyed Hobson's emphatic high notes in several songs, which seem to be an innovation - other Pinafore recordings I've heard do not have them. His voice is particularly fine in the upper range and he hits the notes with ease.
If you can ignore Buttercup, this is a wonderful production. If you can't, then either stop your ears or fast forward through her sections, and enjoy the rest.

Summary of Gilbert & Sullivan - H.M.S. Pinafore / Trial By Jury - David Hobson, Anthony Warlow, Colette Mann, Tiffany Speight, John Bolton Wood, Richard Alexander, Opera Australia, State Theatre, The Arts Centre Melbourne
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.
