AACC Concert Choir and Chamber Singers in association with AACC Opera present Gilbert and Sullivan’s The Pirates of Penzance.
Directed by Douglas Brandt Byerly and conducted by Anna Binneweg, D.M. This family oriented performance features:The Pirate King (Christopher Rhodovi), Mabel (Catherine J. Campbell), Sergeant of Police (John C. Jones), Frederic (Will Kuethe), Ruth (Vanessa Fernandez) and Maj. General Stanley (Douglas Brandt Byerly).
This family-oriented comic opera is the story of Frederic, who, having completed his 21st year, is released from his apprenticeship to a band of tender-hearted pirates. He meets the daughters of Major-General Stanley, including Mabel, and the two young people fall instantly in love. Frederic soon learns, however, that he was born on the 29th of February, and so, technically, he has a birthday only once each leap year. He remain apprenticed to the pirates until his “twenty-first birthday”, meaning that he must serve for another 63 years. Bound by his own sense of duty, Frederic’s only solace is that Mabel agrees to wait for him faithfully.
