Though there's nary a mention of snowfall or jingle bells in THE PIRATES OF PENZANCE, the abundance of joy and good clean humor, not to mention some terrific voices, in the New York Gilbert and Sullivan Players' frothily charming production of G&S's 1879 romantic romp makes it a grand choice for holiday entertainment.

This New York Gilbert & Sullivan Players' production is your chance to get carried away by pirates.

As the summer turns to fall (in spirit, it's still 90+ degrees out here in Houston) the artists at Opera in the Heights gear up for their 21st season. Opening the season is the ever-popular Strauss operetta Die Fledermaus, which is rife with catchy tunes, traditional Viennese waltzes and stunningly beautiful vocal lines.

Opera in the Heights opens its 21st season with Die Fledermaus, featuring a lavish masquerade ball, an elaborate trap and a whirlwind of lies and revelations. This comedic tour-de-force is full of mischief, disguises and irresistible, bounce-in-your-seat tunes, courtesy of Johann Strauss II, also known as 'the Waltz King.' Bill Fabris is the stage director, who enjoys a growing international reputation for innovative and entertaining productions and is equally at home in the worlds of opera and musical theatre.

What fun are the action filled battle scenes with their epic swashbuckling and wonderfully choreographed crew of strong men making their way across the stage to proudly proclaim their identities as pirates; with what grace do the dainty young ladies flit about and admire those same pirates who come and take them away with promises of marriage, almost too fantastical a concept to ever really work. How wonderful it is to watch two lovers remain together through the difficulties of a leap year birthday. Simply put, the New York Gilbert and Sullivan Players' production of the infamous The Pirates of Penzance is one of the most remarkable shows a theatergoer will see before the near year rolls in.
