Review: THE PIRATES OF PENZANCE at Concert Hall, QPAC
by Jake Goodall - December 06, 2024
Yo, Ho, Yo, Ho A Pirate's Life for Me! Get those swords ready and protect thy daughters as The Pirates of Penzance swing into QPAC's Concert Hall this weekend! This classic Gilbert & Sullivan production follows the young pirate, Frederic, who after completing his 21st year as an apprentice pirate, is released and meets Mabel, the daughter of the incompetent Major-General Stanley. However, Frederic soon learns that he was born on the 29th of February and has his birthday only once a leap year, meaning his duty to the pirate king is still bound until his 21st birthday (some 40+ years away). With many other characters and stories interweaving in the classic, this beautiful piece of opera is a shining light for what modern adaptions can be.
