The Pirates of Penzance – In Concert
Ahoy, Brisbane! The Pirates of Penzance are sailing into QPAC this December in a brand-new, semi-staged concert production!
To celebrate 40 years since the first Australian production, Gilbert and Sullivan’s beloved Pirates of Penzance are docking back in Brisbane!
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 musical comedy whose delightful harmonies and humour will steal your heart away!
This brand new semi-staged, concert production will be directed by the acclaimed Stuart Maunder, and under the baton of international award-winning musical director Isaac Haywood. 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 full, on-stage orchestra.
Featuring the vocal strength and elegance of some of the 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!
