The Pirates of Penzance - Gilbert & Sullivan
Performed in English
For the first time, Opera in a Box turns from grand opera to Gilbert and Sullivan with The Pirates of Penzance.

Opera in a Box’s creative team will bring this lively tale to the stage with wit and charm, highlighting its playful satire and memorable music.
