A group of pirates celebrate the coming of age of their apprentice, Frederic. But Frederic has only remained a pirate because of his excessive sense of duty. Now he plans to return to normal life, and go to the police to have his friends arrested. The arrival of a chorus of beautiful 17-year-old girls on a beach outing with their guardian, Major-General Stanley, leads to one complication after another. The opera ends with a hilarious battle between pirates and police, and the discovery that the pirates are, after all, "noblemen who have gone wrong."
Viewer Reviews
Good choreography, especially funny for I am a Pirate King.
Good recording and video quality.
One has to really wonder who chose the cast.
Mabel, Janis Kelly, was great in the middle registers, but did not sing up into the stratosphere.
Frederic, Alexander Oliver, could sing, but did not quite look the part of a dashing young lad of 21.
General Stanley and Ruth were both fine.
The Pirage King was not the strong singer that you would expect, but was clearly enjoying himself.
Includes a libretto with almost all of the lyrics.
It would have been nice if they had also included subtitles for those of us who can not resist the urge to sing along.
