Schloss Kammer

In the 19th century, Penzance was one of the most idyllic and peaceful little towns on the British isle. Pirates... here?! The kings of English operetta, the writing duo Gilbert & Sullivan, had a knack for humorously subverting their audience’s expectations. With this satirical and subversive “recipe,” they created one hit after another.

The rather absurd plot of The Pirates of Penzance would have done proud even to the British humor of Monty Python back in the 19th century: A young man is not trained as a pilot, but instead apprenticed to the Pirates of Penzance because his hard-of-hearing governess confuses the words “pilot” and “pirate.” Upon turning 21, Frederic should have completed his apprenticeship—if only he hadn’t been born in a leap year! According to pirate logic, that makes him just five years old… From this existential dilemma unfolds a love story between the young pirate apprentice and Mabel, a young lady from the British military aristocracy..

The Pirates of Penzance

Volksoper Wien

Following Così fan tutte, the final production of the first graduating class of the Volksoper’s opera studio, the second generation of this young ensemble now takes the stage with another repertoire classic at MuTh in the Augarten. In a newly created chamber version, director Maurice Lenhard highlights the close connections between Mozart’s opera and current global political dynamics, shaping it into a contemporary political thriller. Within this world, the two couples — Vitellia and Sesto, as well as Servilia and Annio — become entangled in a ruthless system of intrigue, corruption, and murder … for power and powerlessness lie dangerously close together.
