The Pirates of Penzance is a comic opera in two acts, with music composed by
Arthur Sullivan and libretto by W. S. Gilbert.
The story concerns a young pirate apprentice named Frederic, who has come to
the end of his indentured period and is released from his apprenticeship to a
band of pirates. He meets Mabel, and the two young people fall instantly in love.
Frederic soon learns, however, that he was indentured by mistake and must
continue to remain apprenticed to the pirates. Bound by his own sense of duty,
Frederic's only solace is that Mabel agrees to wait for him faithfully.
