...morally, if not legally, bound to the pirates, the real dramatic complications begin, and one splendidly choreographed number follows another in stunning procession. The whole takes place against the backdrop of Roger Bardwell's sets--effective recreations of a rocky sea coast and a ruined chapel--and under the glare of Will Durfee and Steuart Thomsen's dramatic lighting. John C. Beichmann's orchestra, which keeps the cast company, is adequate, though not as impressive as past G&S ensembles...
...outfield grass, where the glare of the lights confronted the darkness beyond the leaning fence, out of range of catcalls muffled by the steel and concrete grandstand, 22 faceless figures played out the last act of a melodrama which had long since climaxed and was now crawling along to a predictable finale.

The effect was to present a society in which decent human relationships were impossible, where human contacts were uniformly debased to the level...
...press. Norway's sailor King Olav, 72, never gives formal interviews. TIME'S Dag Christensen, also a sailor, saw him recently on the water, where he failed to give Olav's red sloop Bingo right of way on the Oslofjord, and earned an icy glare from his monarch...
