On Friday, 175 young people will take to one of Northern Ireland's most iconic stages to perform a classic musical like you've never seen it before. The talented bunch of 10-18 have been putting their heart and souls into bringing The Pirates of Penzance to Belfast as part of the Grand Opera House 2022 Summer Youth Production.
To celebrate the Summer Youth Production’s 10th anniversary, this highly skilled company will sing, dance and act their way through the most energetic, funny and accessible of all the Gilbert and Sullivan titles. After a three-year absence due to the pandemic, the cast and creative team are determined to put on a show to remember.
Director Tony Finnegan has been working with the Summer Youth Project for their last seven productions. He told Belfast Live how getting to work with such a dedicated group of young performers is "the highlight of his year".
