Pirates in Schroon -- ARRR

The high seas, pirates, a love story – ARRRR…sounds like the latest installment of that popular Johnny Depp franchise.

But it’s also the storyline of one of Gilbert and Sullivan’s best loved comic operas, the Pirates of Penzance, which premieres tonight at the Seagle Music Colony for four sold out performances.

So popular is this show that a special matinee performance has been added for this Friday, August 12, at 2pm. For tickets click here.

The story features Frederic, who upon his 21st birthday, is released from an apprenticeship by a band of good natured pirates. Fred falls fast for Mabel, the daughter of Major-General Stanley. Things get sticky when it’s revealed that because Fred is a leap year baby (born on February 29) he technically has not served his full apprenticeship and thus must wait until he is 63 before he and Mabel can be together.

Tonight the Seagle Music Colony premieres Mozart’s Cosi fan tutti. This production, set in Hollywood’s Silent movie era, is full of “high jinx comedy”, with some of Mozart’s most beautiful operatic pieces.

The title, Così fan tutte, literally means "Thus do all [women]" but it is often rendered as "Women are like that".  Hhhmm.

Seagle Music Colony. Charley Hill Road. Four nights only! July 13 – 16. 8pm. 518-532-7875
