Pirates of Penzance


  • Music Hall 1241 Elm Street Cincinnati, OH, 45202 United States (map)

Set sail on a perfectly preposterous adventure, complete with dutiful daughters, cowering constables, and softhearted swashbucklers. Frederic, an orphan apprenticed to a lively band of pirates, will soon celebrate his 21st birthday, when he’ll be free to pursue a life—and love—all his own. The charming Mabel catches his eye, and she’s supremely smitten in return. But the crafty Pirate King finds a loophole in Frederic’s contract, setting the young lovers’ future upon stormy seas. Will Frederic and Mabel steer their way to a happily-ever-after? With vibrant sets and costumes, memorable tunes, and rapid-fire laughs, The Pirates of Penzance is a modern, major spectacle, perfect for the entire family.

In this production directed and choreographed by Seán Curran, Pauline joins the Cincinnati Opera chorus.
