Gilbert and Sullivan's

Pirates of Penzance

Pirates (Penzance) Ltd in Association with Tarantara Productions

Thu 13 – Sat 15 Feb 2025

Directed by Donna Stirrup

Conducted by Martin Handley

Gilbert and Sullivan’s touching masterpiece with a 50 strong company of international singers and the size of orchestra Sullivan wanted.

The story of a pirate’s apprentice who falls head-over-heels in love with the daughter of Major-General to hilariously silly consequences.

Directed by Glyndebourne favourite Donna Stirrup and conducted by BBC Radio 3 presenter Martin Handley. Together they allow Gilbert and Sullivan to speak as richly as they intended.

Join us for music theatre at its very best.

"Tarantara productions performed the much-love Savoyard repertoire to the highest standards"

Portsmouth News

"Excellent... the action moves quickly and all parts are played sickly and with excellent comic timing"

Bright Argus

"The orchestral playing is excellent throughout. The timing is faultless. I thoroughly enjoyed myself and can assure you that are you in good hands with the Tarantula team"
