University of Florida Opera Theatre The Pirates of Penzance Tony Offerle, Artistic Director / Tiffany Lu, Conductor

Set sail with the UF Opera Theatre and UF Symphony Orchestra for a night of laughter, romance, and rollicking pirates! Follow Frederic as he wrestles with a truly ridiculous twist of fate: a leap-year birthday that keeps him tied to a band of soft-hearted pirates far longer than he ever imagined. Along the way, you’ll meet a blundering Modern Major-General, his chorus of daughters, and a cast brimming with mischievous creativity. The wit and spirit of Gilbert & Sullivan’s beloved masterpiece shine in this delightful performance.

The talented performers of the UF Opera Theatre, who have brought Carmen, La Bohème, Tosca, and La Traviata to the Phillips Center stage, make up this dynamic cast.
