See love turn a gang of pirates
into a ship of fools.

Love and duty have rarely been so funny. Frederic, a young pirate in Victorian England, spots Mabel and falls instantly in love. But when he attempts to leave his pirate crew for a life of respectability, the pirates remind him that he may be 21 – which marks the end of his apprenticeship - but his birthday is February 29th. Since he only has a birthday each leap year, they tell him, he must serve the pirates for 63 more years. Will duty-bound Frederic accept their terms? Or will the soft-hearted pirates let love conquer all?

The fifth collaboration between Gilbert and Sullivan, The Pirates of Penzance has been parodied, imitated and frequently revived, earning its place as one of the duo’s most popular operas. This season’s production is a treasure trove of humor, wit and irresistible performances. Sung in English with English supertitles.
