Omschrijving

The Pirates of Penzance or The Slave of Duty is a comedic opera written by William S. Gilbert and composed by Arthur Sullivan. Originally premiering in 1879, the story follows the tale of Frederic, a young man who was mistakenly apprenticed to a band of pirates as a child. On his 21st birthday, he is released from his apprenticeship and vows to bring an end to piracy. Along the way, he falls in love with Mabel, the daughter of a Major-General, but complications arise when it is revealed that Frederic's apprenticeship was not legally binding due to a technicality, and he must return to the pirates. The opera features catchy musical numbers and witty lyrics, satirizing the Victorian era's social customs and institutions. The Pirates of Penzance has become a beloved classic of the operatic genre, and its enduring popularity is a testament to Gilbert and Sullivan's enduring legacy.THIS 26 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: The Works of Sir William Gilbert and Sir Arthur Sullivan, by William S.
