West Australian Opera: The Pirates of Penzance
29 March @ 7:30 pm - 10:00 pm AWST

Hurrah for The Pirate King! Gilbert and Sullivan’s uproariously silly operetta The Pirates of Penzance storms the stage of His Majesty’s Theatre for a romp across the high seas and to the Motherland.
Bursting with much-loved music, the score will leave you grinning with classics including I am the Very Model of a Modern Major General, Poor Wandering One and I am the Pirate King.
Following his performance in the titular role in WAO’s Sweeney Todd, musical theatre star Ben Mingay returns as the swashbuckling Pirate King. Directed by the acclaimed Stuart Maunder AM (Carmen, Sweeney Todd, Cunning Little Vixen), don’t miss this hilarious must-see production in its Perth premiere.
