Lamplighters Music Theatre opens their 72nd season with one of the most popular musicals of all time, The Pirates of Penzance or, The Slave of Duty. Directed by Bay Area favorite Michael Mohammed and conducted by Resident Music Director Brett Strader, this comic jewel is packed full of sentimental pirates, hopeless policemen, and over-the-top adventures.
The Pirates of Penzance; or, The Slave of Duty is a comic opera in two acts, with music by Arthur Sullivan and libretto by W. S. Gilbert. Its official premiere was at the Fifth Avenue Theatre in New York City on 31 December 1879, where it was well received by both audiences and critics. Its London debut was on 3 April 1880, at the Opera Comique, where it ran for 363 performances.
