The Pirates of Penzance is a comic opera in two acts with music by Arthur Sullivan and libretto by W. S. Gilbert. The story follows Frederic, a young man mistakenly apprenticed to a band of "tender-hearted" pirates who believes his service ends on his 21st birthday. However, because he was born on 29 February, a leap year technicality means he has not yet had his 21st birthday and must serve for another 63 years. Frederic falls in love with Mabel, the daughter of the bumbling Major-General Stanley, and his sense of duty forces him to choose between his heart and his bond with the pirates.
