“The direction of Doug Scholz-Carlson … had the audience in stitches…Whether you are a Gilbert and Sullivan fan or a first-timer, you WILL be amused!” -Jeanne-Marie Rogers, Arts-Louisville.com

“The quips, absurdities, and arias of this comedic opera come together in a masterful, extravagant, and delightful Kentucky Opera production.”

“Kentucky Opera’s production of the classic Gilbert & Sullivan operetta “The Pirates of Penzance” is hilarious and upbeat — and it makes reference to Louisville.” -Leo Weekly
