The Pirates of Penzance starring David Keith as the Pirate King March 14, 2010

The Pirates of Penzance, Gilbert & Sullivan’s most famous comedy, stars actor David Keith (Golden Globe nominee for An Officer and a Gentleman) as The Pirate King. UT Opera Theatre Director Carroll Freeman portrays “the very model of a modern Major-General” and La Scala’s Julian Rodescu delivers his mammoth bass as the Police Sergeant.
Frederic, an orphan indentured servant to a band of misfit pirates, falls in love with Mabel, the daughter of Major-General Stanley, also an orphan. The comedy is filled with the absurd antics of the pirates, the police and the Major-General’s bevy of beautiful daughters. The Pirates of Penzance will be performed in English.

Tickets are available through the Knoxville Opera Box Office (865) 524-0795 extension 1, or order online at www.KnoxvilleOpera.com.
