Pineapple Poll which the central character is named Poll Pineapple. The Gilbert and Sullivan opera "H.M.S. Pinafore" (especially its character Little Buttercup) was also based, in part, on this story. Cranko introduced new characters (Mrs Dimple) and gave Poll an admirer to enable a happy ending. Mackerras arranged the score of "Pineapple Poll" from the Gilbert and Sullivan repertoire, as well as Sullivan's comic opera "Cox and Box" (written with F. C. Burnand), and Sullivan's "Overture di Ballo". Music from all of the extant Gilbert and Sullivan operas is included, except for "Utopia Limited" and "The Grand Duke". "Pineapple Poll" premiered on
Dybbuk (ballet) repetition of the top note in a symmetrical octatonic scale. The result lent itself well to dodecaphonic composition but baffled critics, causing Oliver Knussen to write in "Tempo", "…it is surprising to encounter Bernstein making use of numerical formulas derived from the Kabbalah… and producing his most austerely contemporary-sounding score to date." Jack Gottlieb commented, ""The Dybbuk" ballet (1974), however, marks a kind of departure for the composer since its concern with numerology results in far more hard-edged dissonant music (sometimes 12-tone) than in any of his other works."
