This season the Buntport Theatre has been presenting Siren Song, a serialized story of pirates in Ancient Schmeece. For the concert Pirates of the Symphony Seas, they brought the show to a larger audience and set it to familiar classical music.
The show started with the theme from Pirates of the Caribbean with conductor Christopher Dragon dressed on a festive red jacket and pirate hat. After that introduction, the play started. It was a silly story of pirates in search of a captain and their encounter of the dreaded siren. It was a fun show that never took itself too seriously. The action was framed with musical interludes by famous composers such as Tchaikovsky, Beethoven and Grieg. They also added "The Eye of the Tiger" for a bit of fun.
This was a different type of performance by the symphony. It was more theatrical than most but judging by the audience reaction, it was a fun afternoon for all the families who attended.
