By: Gilbert & Sullivan
A swashbuckling clash of duty and destiny
Frederic is finally free from his pirate apprenticeship — or so he thinks. On his 21st birthday, he’s ready to renounce his zany crewmates and embrace a new life on land. But when he falls for the spirited Mabel, daughter of the famously fast-talking Major-General, plans go awry. Chaos erupts as the Major-General, his daughters, the police, and Frederic’s pirate band engage in a hilariously over-the-top clash of swords and parasols. With sparkling wordplay and toe-tapping tunes, Gilbert and Sullivan’s classic operetta is a delight for all ages.
All performances are accompanied by members of the Grammy Award-winning St. Louis Symphony Orchestra.
