The Pirates of Penzance

As with many of Gilbert and Sullivan’s operas, the story is a little silly: there are pirates, who take pity on orphans, and are really peers of the realm.

There’s a 21-year-old called Frederic, who has sworn to put the pirates behind bars, and is really only five.

And there are policemen, whose lot is not a happy one, and are really, really hopeless at foiling felons…

Oh, and a very modern major-general makes an appearance of course!

The concert will be faithful to the original music and text with movement, costumes, dance and full chorus.
