Carl Rosa Opera The Pirates of Penzance
Gilbert and Sullivan's classic operetta in a new stage version based on the original production
The irrepressible silliness of Gilbert and Sullivan sails once again in Popejoy Hall. Bringing The Mikado to us last season, England?s Carl Rosa Opera returns with an inspired production of The Pirates of Penzance, accompanied by full orchestra. The operetta follows the tale of Frederic, who should have been apprenticed to pilots but was apprenticed to pirates when his nursemaid misheard the instruction. Renouncing piracy, he vows vengeance on his mates, even though he likes them personally. Will the pirates live through the attack of their former apprentice? Will Frederic wed Mabel, the daughter of a Major-General, or will his past prevent the union? It all makes for a glorious evening of singing, colorful costumes and delightful madness.
