Listening Liveblog: Gilbert and Sullivan - H.M.S. Pinafore

We now travel to England for this comic opera from the Romantic period. When I was young I learned a fun piece that adapted the main musical themes of the work for solo piano. I also enjoyed as an adult The Simpsons' shout-out to this opera.

So I'm definitely looking forward to this. Here we go!

Many thanks to G&S for writing patter songs that I can parody to cram at least 40 random lore references for my eldritch steampunk universe
