The Chattanooga Symphony & Opera is presenting a special semi-staged opera production of New York Gilbert & Sullivan Players' Pirates of Penzance tonight, November 15 at 7:30pm at the Tivoli Theatre.
This production is your chance to get carried away by Pirates! Join the band of swashbuckling buccaneers, bumbling British bobbies, frolicsome Victorian maidens, and the delightfully dotty "model of a modern Major-General" for a rollicking romp over the rocky coast of Cornwall. This exuberant musical theater masterpiece is directed and conducted by Albert Bergeret with choreography by Bill Fabris. The rich sounds of the Chattanooga Symphony & Opera musicians and Chorus, plus vocal soloists resonate with classic elegance and power while the company's vibrancy, energy, and contemporary sense of humor keep the show alive and exciting to a modern audience. The Pirates of Penzance - they'll steal your heart away!
Tickets start at $21 and are available by calling the CSO box office at 423.267.8583, visiting the box office Monday through Friday from 10am to 5pm at 701 Broad Street, or online at www.chattanoogasymphony.org.
