THE PIRATES OF PENZANCE

This delightfully camp set was designed by Don Carson, a senior designer for Walt Disney Studios. With its overtones of a bygone era, it almost seems to channel the ghosts of Gilbert and Sullivan themselves!

“On Friday evening at the Hult Center, the Eugene Opera confirmed the enduring high spirits and fun that still can be found in W.S. Gilbert and Arthur Sullivan’s works. Dripping with Victorian costumes and punch lines, prettified by Don Carson’s updated cartoon sets and alive with active and sometimes hammy antics, the performance was a delightful start to the opera’s season….” — Marilyn Farwell, The Register-Guard, December 31, 2012
