Carl Rosa Opera Company: Pirates of Penzance February 25, 2007

Wacky, irreverent and as entertaining today as it was when it first opened in 1879, THE PIRATES OF PENZANCE spins an hilarious farce of sentimental pirates, bumbling policemen, dim-witted young lovers, dewy-eyed daughters and an eccentric Major-General, all morally bound to the often-ridiculous dictates of honor and duty. Performed by the internationally acclaimed Carl Rosa Opera with costumes and staging that evoke a bygone high Victorian era, this Gilbert and Sullivan operetta is presented with a fresh, contemporary approach that will set the stage ablaze with famous tunes including “I Am A Pirate King” and “(I Am The Very Model Of) A Modern Major General.”
