Opera Anywhere presents Gilbert & Sullivan’s

The Pirates of Penzance

A joyful romp of mistaken identity, misheard words, and musical brilliance!

Gilbert & Sullivan’s The Pirates of Penzance is one of their most popular and enduring comic operettas. Since its London debut in 1880, it has delighted audiences with its wit, catchy melodies, and colourful cast of characters.

The story begins with a simple mishearing—Frederic, meant to be apprenticed to a pilot, is instead sent to sea with a band of pirates! What follows is a fast-paced tale of love, loyalty, and laughs, brought to life with Opera Anywhere’s signature flair.

Audience Reviews: “Can’t beat G&S for huge fun and brilliant music – delivered by Opera Anywhere with great panache!” “Our 5 & 7 year-olds were humming the tunes for the rest of the summer!” “Fantastic performance. My wife and I enjoyed every second. The cast was superb – thank you for a wonderful evening!”

Come early, settle in, and let the music carry you away on a summer’s night.
