The Pirates of Penzance

Music by Arthur Sullivan
Liberetto by W. S. Gilbert
Sung in English with electronic subtitles


Gilbert & Sullivan's swashbuckling tale of duty gone wrong will tickle your funny bone. Audiences young and old will be swept away to the zany port of Penzance where everyone's favorite "model of a modern major-general" will leave you aching from laughter over the slight miscalculation of a February 29th leap year birthday. Who knew contractual obligation, kidnapping, and fallen noblemen could lead to love-stuck couples living happily ever after?

 

AMUSEMENT! MERRIMENT! GLEE!

 

Recent Lyric director Dorothy Danner (The Merry Widow 2006) will return to the Lyric to direct her signature piece.
