The best-known and most-loved of all Gilbert and Sullivan (at least to American audiences and performers), The Pirates of Penzance unleashes its rollicking band of inept pirates and bumbling policemen for the eighth time on the Mandel Hall stage this March. Filled to the brim with songs, jokes, and visuals that promise to be familiar and accessible to those new to Gilbert and Sullivan, Pirates also holds a special place in the hearts of countless performers, as it represents the first exposure for many to the world of light opera.
GSOC's 2020 production of Pirates will be particularly special to its directorial team, who bring a well-crafted and complete show honed over thirty years and fifteen separate productions, as well as productions designed from W.S. Gilbert's original prompt books. This production promises to be an unforgettable event and a true testament to the enduring power and beauty of Gilbert and Sullivan for generations to come.
Presented by Gilbert & Sullivan Opera Company and the University of Chicago Department of Music.
Shane Valenzi, Stage Director
Matthew Sheppard, Music Director
