Sometimes, skulls and crossbones can be a bit of a bind
Frederic can’t wait to turn 21. He never really wanted to be a pirate and sail the Cornish Main. But for now he’s caught between a marauding crew that lacks killer instinct, a squad of overly empathetic policemen, and a modern major-general’s bevy of purposeful daughters. Chock-a-block with wit, charm and a treasure chest of hits, Gilbert and Sullivan sail triumphantly back into Holland Park.
Part of Opera Holland Park’s 2021 Season in their new 400-seat performance space. Built with sustainable materials and located in the heart of one of London’s most beautiful parks, the newly designed auditorium offers audiences an immediate connection to the emotional drama of opera, while also being customised for safe social distancing, and providing greater accessibility.
