The pirates of Penzance is a comic opera, which is the first concert that i am going to take part in next Saturday after i joined IFC Beijing(International Festival Chorus).
The storyline of this opera isabout a stubborn young man, Federic, who is just realeased from apprenticeship to a host of pirates at his age of 21. He meets Mable, the daughter of Major General Stanley, with whom he fell in love instantly. However, he finds out he was born on February29th, which means he only has his birthday every leap year. As stated in his indenture, he will only be realeased from his apprenticeship from pirates when he has his 21st birthday. His strong sense of duty makes him decide to serve the appenticeship for 63 years more. And Mable agrees to wait for him.
Im singing the tenor this time. According to our conductor, the difficult part is singing the words as clearly as speaking. For a non-native English speaker, i found it’s very difficult. But i do work on my part to improve it. Anyway, wish all the best to our performance.
