About the event

Charlottesville Opera Presents: The Pirates of Penzance
An engaging comedy of misunderstandings, exaggerated loyalties, and tender-hearted pirates, Gilbert and Sullivan’s The Pirates of Penzance is perfect for the whole family. Young Frederic assumes his servitude to the pirate ship is complete when he meets the lovely Mabel, a daughter of the bumbling Major General Stanley. An untimely revelation threatens his newfound love and a return to the ship. Audiences will recognize the often parodied Modern Major General’s song and enjoy the tuneful score shared by the large choruses of pirates and General Stanley’s daughters.

The Pirates of Penzance is presented by Charlottesville Opera, formerly Ash Lawn Opera. The company has been presenting opera and musical theater productions since 1978. Each summer, over 140 theater professionals, singers, orchestra musicians, directors, and designers gather in Charlottesville to produce two mainstage performances at The Paramount Theater in addition to concerts throughout the community in June and July.

The Pirates of Penzance is made possible by Charlottesville Opera’s Presenting Sponsor: The Joseph and Robert Cornell Memorial Foundation. Additional support by Tessa Gowen Ader whose support makes possible the Ader Emerging Artist Program, training the next generation of great voices.
