Knoxville Opera presents Gilbert & Sullivan's classic operetta, The Pirates of Penzance on Friday, October 25th at 7:30pm and Sunday, October 27th at 2:30pm. Both performances will be given at the magnificent Tennessee Theatre in downtown Knoxville. The show is stage-directed by Dean Anthony and music-directed by Joseph Mechavich, who returns to Knoxville after having conducted Verdi's La Traviata last season.
This beloved work by Gilbert & Sullivan is a great choice for those who aren't familiar with opera, for families, and simply for anyone who wants to have a good time in the theatre. The Pirates of Penzance is a comedy, sung in English, and is only about an hour and a half in length. The characters are "quirky", the costumes outlandish, and the tunes, catchy. Knoxville Opera is even hosting a pirate costume contest! More information on that can be found on their social media pages.
