With familiar tunes, stunning visuals and exceptional talent, the CU Boulder College of Music Eklund Opera Program brings Gilbert and Sullivan’s hilarious hijinks to life with a whole lot of pirate swagger. So grab your sweetheart or your best matey and set sail for a night of music, laughter and love on the high seas!
