Pirates of Penzance - Critique The Pirates of Penzance was an opera performed by the Southwest Texas Opera Workshop. The Pirates of Penzance‚ composed by Gilbert & Sullivan‚ is a light-hearted parody of the traditional opera. This opera takes place somewhere in the British Virgin Islands. It is about a boy‚ Federic‚ who is to be apprenticed by his nurse‚ Ruth‚ to become a pilot. Ruth mistakes the word pilot for pirate and apprentices him to a band of pirates. She‚ too‚ remains with them

the topics Orff composed of.1 In this concert report I will go through the pieces that stood out the most to me. As mentioned‚ the most famous piece of this work is the opening sequence‚ “O Fortuna”. This glamorous piece begins with the full orchestra and chorus playing a loud‚ brave tone that quickly drops off into‚ what I hear as a loud whisper‚ sung by the entire chorus. Orff doesn’t let the listener take a break by coming back with same loud tone that the piece began with. Percussion instruments

performance‚ we received a standing ovation and my heart raced faster than ever before. While in New York‚ we also saw Les Miserable. Although I played in the pit orchestra for some years in school‚ I had never seen a live show on Broadway.

Another highlight of our trip happened quite by accident while touring the city when

The podium seems to have a soloist as well as a conductor‚ but the conductor is playing along with the soloist. This is an interesting technique‚ but it seems to fit the piece perfectly and it adds a unique perspective which seems to attract the
