"The Pirates of Penzance"

Gilbert and Sullivan's "Pirates of Penzance" is a lovely but fairly difficult opera, yet it received very kind treatment from the hands of pupils of Waimea College. It was presented in all its colour as part of the college's music festival. Produced by Dr F. E. Gallas, the opera was as well presented and proved just as popular as other performances given at the college this year.
