This hilarious comic opera is packed full of sentimental pirates, blundering policemen, absurd adventures, and improbable paradoxes. Frederic, a pirate’s apprentice, falls head-over-heels in love with Mabel, the daughter of Major-General Stanley. Frederic is due to be released from his apprenticeship on his 21st birthday, but there’s a snag. Born on the 29th of February, Frederic discovers that he is technically still a youngster. Although very much in love, his dedication to duty is unshakeable. Can he find a way to live happily-ever-after with Mabel? Featuring such memorable songs as the tongue-twisting ‘I Am the Very Model of a Modern Major-General’, and beloved since its premiere in 1879, The Pirates of Penzance is a delightful farce of a classic that is fun for all ages!
