The Pirates Of Penzance
The opera was also a hit in the U.S. since its opening in New York on New Year's Eve, 1879. Richard D'Oyly Carte launched four companies that toured across the United States that following summer and Gilbert and Sullivan personally trained each of the touring companies for a month in January 1880. Each company's first performance, whether in Philadelphia, Newark, or Buffalo was conducted by the composer.
At this time there was still no international copyright law and the first unauthorized New York production was made by the Boston Ideal Opera Company at Booth's Theatre in September 1880. In September 1961, the first non-D'Oyly Carte professional production in a country that had been subject to Gilbert's copyright was in Stratford, Ontario, Canada. In 1979, the Torbay branch of the Gilbert and Sullivan Society presented a centenary tribute to the world premiere performance of Pirates in Paignton, with a production at the Palace Avenue Theatre.
