A sextet of stars and pianist of New York Gilbert & Sullivan Players perform The Pirates of Penzance in one act, with all of the famous numbers by all your favorite characters -dressed to the nines in piratical and Victorian splendor. Set sail with this classic comedy that boasts one of the most famous patter songs in musical theatre history. On the coast of Cornwall, a band of tenderhearted pirates celebrates the coming of age of Frederic, who was mistakenly apprenticed to the pirates until his 21st birthday. Now, Frederic has vowed to devote his life to the extermination of piracy - until a ludicrous leap year snag threatens to keep him apprenticed to the pirates for life! Throw in a brash Pirate King and the delightfully stuffy Major-General Stanley and you’ve got what The New York Times calls “AN ENDEARING PRODUCTION WITH HIGH MUSICAL STANDARDS AND SPIRITED PERFORMANCES.” After intermission, the performers return in black tie and gowns to entertain the audience with many selections from the full repertoire of Gilbert & Sullivan’s comic operas- including our signature section- impromptu audience requests!

Peach State Opera presents
La Traviata by Verdi
Sunday, February 2, 2025
3:00 pm
Peach State Opera presents Giuseppe Verdi's La Traviata. Come see why this is one of the most popular and frequently produced operas of all time. It is a tale of a passionate love between a courtesan and her secret admirer, an overprotective father, a short lived reunion, and a tragic end. This timeless opera centers around Violetta, a woman of great intelligence and beauty of spirit crushed by the social prejudices of the time; Alfredo, a young provincial nobleman who has long adored Violetta from afar; and Germont, Alfredo’s disapproving father who persuades Violetta to leave Alfredo to protect his son’s public image. She reluctantly returns to her old life. Act III shows that Violetta’s health is quickly declining. Germont, full of remorse, tells his son the truth about why she left. Alfredo rushes to her for a beautiful reunion, before consumption finally claims her life.
La Traviata contains some of Verdi’s most beloved tunes, including Violetta’s first-act hymn to freedom, “Sempre libera,” as well as her tragic farewell to life in the last act, “Addio, del passato bei sogni,” and the most irresistible of all of Verdi’s drinking songs, “Libiamo ne’ lieti calici.” Join Peach State Opera for an unforgettable afternoon of romance and regret, wrapped up in some of the world’s most beautiful music, sung in English.
Peach State Opera is a touring company that shares the thrill of live opera with small communities in Georgia and its surrounding states by presenting exciting and portable English-language productions. PSO resides at the Clarkston campus of Georgia State University – Perimeter College, as one of the college’s “Artist Affiliate” organizations.
