Skylight Opera Stages Pirates

Skylight Opera, Milwaukee will play Gilbert & Sullivan's The Pirates Of Penzance from May 22 to June 14, 2009.

"Gilbert and Sullivan's masterpiece! - A truly perfect show!" - The London Times

On a rocky seashore on the coast of Cornwall, England, the pirates of Penzance are holding a party to celebrate their apprentice Frederic’s promotion to the status of full-blown pirate, for today is his 21st birthday.

But being born on the extra day of leap year does have its difficulties. A lively staging featuring wonderful G&S music, swashbuckling comedy, satire and parody, this fully entertaining production has all of the timeless characters we all know and love.

There’s the sentimental pirates, the bumbling policemen, an eccentric modern Major-General and his dewy-eyed daughters all on deck to complete this hilarious tale. -- www.skylightopera.com
