'The Very Model of a Modern Major' Musical


The collaboration of Librettist W. S. Gilbert and Arthur Sullivan in the comic opera of The Pirates of Penzance was truly brilliant! Llewellyn Cadwaladr, as Fredic, fit the role perfectly and emphasized the difficulties in the life of pirates. The Pirates of Penzance is about a young man named Fredric who is released from his apprenticeship to a band of pirates. Fredric falls in love with the daughter of Major-General Stanley, Mabel, but then tragically has to remain an apprentice for 63 years.  Will Fredric and Mabel be together in the end or will the pirate life take Fredric captive forever?
