I have seen some renditions of the part of mayor general by now in youtube, and I like very much how each one makes a different interpretation of the character. Some actors play it with seriousness and solemnity, other do it in a cocky way, and this one simply makes the character to play along the scene. It is so funny each new time.

During the 19th century officers in the British army would often buy their commissions. So they were well educated but not always intelligent or good officers. The plucky and adventurous bit for example could refer to the poorly thought out cavalry charges that were common at the time. Men chasing glory would ride with sabers drawn straight into the bayonets of French farmers. You pretty much have hit the nail on the head though.

My thought exactly. I had thought that this would serve as a nice tribute to Sir Peter Jonas, who was General Director of the English National Opera from 1985-1993 and who died on April 22, 2020. But the scrappy chorus singing does the production little credit. (I then discovered that the show dates from June 2015 and was posted at that time, so we can absolve Jonas from any association with this one.) R.I.P anyway, Sir Peter.

My very favourite of all G&S - and it's a hard choice! But let's face it, Pirates is absolute superior pantomime at it's very best!

Hello from Japan. I am using a translator. I listened to Tom Lehrer's "The elements song" translated into Japanese when I was in elementary school. I recently found out that the original song is "Major-General's Song" and came here to listen to it. It's a very good song with an addictive quality that makes me listen to it over and over again. Thank you for the opportunity to meet this song. I also like "Major-General's Song" sung by Minion(*ˊ˘ˋ*)♡

Wish I could hear David SUCHET singing this - although we won't be hearing "Poirot's the very model of a modern major detective~" anymore.

His knowledge of all matters military may be minimal, And all of his persuasion tactics borderline subliminal, But clearly in most any field considered academical, He is the very model of a modern major-general!

That is freakin' great when all the ladies sang the line "Commisary-ate" (watch all their reaction, that is great, also!!) and surprised the heck out of him... If one does not know, that is his line, not the chorus' line. =)))

I like this one more than most because it has the "harrumph" the character needs. He has to be stuffy and full of himself, not flouncy.
