10/24. Friday. I arrived at McCall Hall right before the curtain.
"Sold Out" signs taped on the door, and next to the box office.
I waited anyway, ended up purchasing the very last ticket of the show.
The Pirates of Penzance was fun. My first Gilbert and Sullivan opera. Melodic, and comical. Some songs feel familiar, even though I don't think I watched this before even in a different format. The lyrics are really funny, especilaly the Major General Song, which was sung so fast, that I didn't think it's possible. Need to read the supertitle though, especially for female voice.
I stayed for the Q&A after the show, when Reggie (the pirate king) and Ilya (Samuel, the king's sidekick). Both are very likeable. I'm ready for another opera by Guilbert and Sullivan :)
