Overview
Gilbert and Sullivan’s beloved Pirates of Penzance are sailing into Brisbane in a brand new, semi-staged concert production, starring Ben Mingay, Billy Bourchier, Nina Korbe and Matthew Broadbent.
Join the band of bumbling buccaneers, fleet-footed police, Victorian maidens, the rabble-rousing Pirate King, and the tongue-twisting Major-General for a shipload of delightful humour and harmonies that will steal your heart away!
Following the great success of Jersey Boys earlier this year and their previous concert productions of The Wizard of Oz and Singin’ in the Rain, Prospero Arts are thrilled to present one of the most cherished operetta musicals of all-time. Audiences will be graced with a presentation of Pirates, like they’ve never seen before, directed by the acclaimed Stuart Maunder, in the magnificent Concert Hall.
Under the baton of international award-winning musical director Isaac Hayward, relive your G&S favourites including “I am the Pirate King”, “Poor, Wandering One” and “I am the Very Model of a Modern Major General”, supported by a twenty-three piece, on-stage orchestra.
Featuring the vocal strength and elegance of some of our country’s best performers, come and witness this unforgettable reimagining of the story of a mischievous pirate king and his reckless young charge who search the sea and coastline for a life of love and treasure.
Silly, romantic, and completely iconic, The Pirates of Penzance is an all-out musical adventure, that both old salts and young scallywags are set to enjoy!
Please note that due to ill health John Wood will no longer play the role of Sergeant, this role will now be played by Matthew Broadbent.
