Gilbert & Sullivan in Concert: Where Musical Theatre Began!
The grand finale of Backroom Boston’s Summer of Song series, and Boston Summer Opera’s season, is this lighthearted concert celebrating the witty, wonderful world of Gilbert & Sullivan — the original masters of musical theater!
If you love Broadway, British humor, or a good pirate song, this one’s for you. Featuring highlights from The Pirates of Penzance — performed by the incredible cover artists from Boston Summer Opera’s recent production — plus other favorite selections from G&S’s most beloved comic operas.
Who were Gilbert & Sullivan? A British duo whose clever lyrics and catchy melodies laid the groundwork for modern musicals — blending satire, silliness, and show-stopping tunes.
Expect pirates, patter songs, and plenty of fun in this one-night-only concert of operetta gems, all performed in a casual setting with reception to follow.
Light refreshments provided.
🎤 Presented by Backroom Boston, in partnership with Boston Summer Opera and West End Lyric.
All are welcome!
