Young Frederic, mistakenly apprenticed to a band of possibly the world’s most incompetent pirates, has finally turned 21. At last he is free to fall in love — which he promptly does — and fulfill his duty, which is to destroy pirates. There’s just one catch! Gilbert and Sullivan’s hilarious, swashbuckling romance is a comedy classic bursting with toe-tapping tunes from “I Am the Very Model of a Modern Major General” to “I Am a Pirate King,” from “Poor Wand’ring One” to “O, Is There Not One Maiden Breast?”.

The Pirates of Penzance

 The University of Tulsa

Step into a candlelit world where voices rise from the flickering shadows and haunting melodies stir something deep inside your soul. Inspired by Schubert’s chilling masterpieces like “Der Doppelgänger” and “Erlkönig,” Music from the Shadows explores the eerie, poetic, and otherworldly through an intimate classical vocal music experience. Dare to enter a space where beauty dances with disquiet and each song entices you further into the shadows.
