The Coliseum is one of this country’s most famous theatres, with a huge internal space, and amazing architecture, very much in the grand style. What could be a better venue for one of Gilbert & Sullivan’s most over-the-top and outrageous operettas!?
So batten down the hatches and strike the colours! The pirates are back. The English National Opera’s smash-hit production of this world-famous swashbuckling farce is packing them out. With its splendidly silly storyline, wild wordplay and well-loved songs, this Mike Leigh production of The Pirates is irresistibly feel-good. And we’re going to be there!
For those unfamiliar with the story, a rather too honourable apprentice pirate (with a very unusual birthday) woos the lovely daughter of a rather dozy Major General, while his bungling buccaneer-shipmates try to frustrate the match, which involves trying to outwit an equally inept party of policemen. With friends like these, what could possibly go wrong?
So come along to enjoy this amazing show at 7pm.
We have also booked a pre-theatre supper at nearby hotel restaurant at 5.15pm, for those who’d like a meal first.
