Sat 4th Jul 2026 7:30pm
This much-loved comic opera follows Frederic, a young apprentice mistakenly bound to a band of tender-hearted pirates, as he navigates duty, love and cowardly policemen.
Celebrated for its sparkling score and razor-sharp wordplay, the operetta delights in its own absurdity while delivering one memorable tune after another.
Known for reshaping opera's boundaries, Opera in a Box merges the genre's traditional elements with contemporary twists. The Pirates of Penzance promises to continue this innovative trend, as a talented ensemble of eight singers and musicians bring this lively tale to life with wit and charm in an intimate and electrifying performance.
