Pirates (Penzance) Ltd in association with Tarantara Productions

Gilbert and Sullivan's

THE PIRATES OF PENZANCE

Directed by Donna Stirrup

Conducted by Martin Handley

 

Gilbert and Sullivan’s touching masterpiece with a 50 strong company of international singers and the size of orchestra Sullivan wanted. The story of a pirate’s apprentice who falls head-over-heels in love with the daughter of Major-General to hilariously silly consequences.

 

Directed by Glyndebourne favourite Donna Stirrup and conducted by BBC Radio 3 presenter Martin Handley. Together they allow Gilbert and Sullivan to speak as richly as they intended.
