Stash the gold! Guard the women! Hide the rum! The “Pirates” have arrived! THE PIRATES OF PENZANCE is the fifth collaboration of the renowned Gilbert and Sullivan. The comedic opera officially premiered in New York City December 31, 1879. Over one hundred and thirty years later, THE PIRATES OF PENZANCE is still a beloved tale of love, laughter, and loyalty. The story concerns Frederic, who, having completed his apprenticeship to a band of pirates on his 21st birthday, is released from his servitude. Soon after, he meets the fair maiden Mabel, daughter of Major-General Stanley. The two fall instantly in love; but, as always, obstacles threaten to cause trouble for young Frederic. It turns out Frederic was born during the leap year which means even though he is 21 he has only had 5 birthdays, and is in fact indebted to the pirates for 63 more years! Bound by his own sense of duty, Frederic's only solace is that Mabel agrees to wait for him faithfully. THE PIRATES OF PENZANCE is a marauding, swash-buckling tale that will have you crying from laughter.
