Editorial Review:
Product Description:
Lock up your daughters, the pirates are coming to town!
Peppered with unforgettable melodies and tongue-twisting songs, The Pirates of Penzance is one of the most popular operettas ever written.
Opera Australia's new production is an effervescent smash hit with a national tour and jubilant sellout seasons everywhere.
In spite of being apprenticed to a Pirate King as a child, Frederic has led a very sheltered life. So when he arrives in Penzance with his boisterous shipmates, there are a few surprises in store for him! It all ends happily, but not before he's dodged the Old Bill, fallen in love and made some rather inconvenient discoveries.
Director Stuart Maunder (who last directed this show for D'Oyly Carte Company at London's Savoy Theatre), designers Roger Kirk, Richard Roberts and Trudy Dalgleish, choreographer Elizabeth Hill and a stellar cast join forces once again to present a spirited new production of this Gilbert and Sullivan classic.
This bright and breezy production is guaranteed to have you laughing all the way home; it's a big adventure book for boys where our swashbuckling Pirate King meets his match in the bumbling Major General.
Starring Anthony Warlow, David Hobson, John Bolton Wood, Taryn Fiebig and Suzanne Johnston as Ruth
If G&S is your thing, you'll love every moment of this joyful production

I am resigned to the fact there will be nothing significantly new done to a treatment of "Pirates" since Joseph Papp. This production, with some promising innovations, took to itself many of Papp's "Shakespeare in the Park" contrivances with uneven results. On the whole, for those who have never seen "Pirates" before, you will be delighted. For those who groan at the mindless pastiches on the 1980's show, toss this one on the heap. Elements from Papp's production found here: the "intimate" staging, ... Read More
Rating: - High expectations not met, but still entertaining
One of the most famous and loved Gilbert & Sullivan shows, performed by Opera Australia starring Anthony Warlow and David Hobson - one could be excused for expecting something extraordinary. I certainly did. Unfortunately, my expectations were not met.
Firstly, I would like to say that this is NOT a poor performance. The talent and professionalism of the cast is obvious throughout and it is an enjoyable show. There were, however, a number of disappointments for me.

Rating: - Very Good and UNIQUE Production
I've seen most of this production on clips on the internet, as it obviously had not been released on DVD in the USA prior to this release.
The best part of this production is Anthony Warlow's new portrayal of the Pirate King.In order to appeal to a new audience, he modeled his portrayal of the character after Johnny Depp's portrayal of "Captain Jack Sparrow" from Disney's"Pirates of the Carribean" trilogy.He clearly really studied that character as all he really matches the voice and ...
