The Pirates of Penzance
Frederic is finally free from his pirate apprenticeship — or so he thinks. On his 21st birthday, he’s ready to renounce his zany crewmates and embrace a new life on land. But when he falls for the spirited Mabel, daughter of the famously fast-talking Major-General, plans go awry. Chaos erupts as the Major-General, his daughters, the police, and Frederic’s pirate band engage in a hilariously over-the-top clash of swords and parasols. With sparkling wordplay and toe-tapping tunes, Gilbert and Sullivan’s classic operetta is a delight for all ages.
Opera Theatre of Saint Louis (OTSL) will run its 2026 Festival Season May 23 — June 28, 2026 at the Loretto-Hilton Center at Webster University. OTSL will feature four mainstage productions and, as has been the tradition since Opera Theatre’s inception, every performance will be in English with English captions projected.
