'A serious exercise in musical archaeology and a lot of fun – mournful, bawdy, gory and daft by turns.' - The Guardian
'Stuffed to the rafters with unexpected moments and collaborations that don’t add up on paper, but make perfect sense on the stage. Sail on, sailors.' - The Independent
Leave terra firma behind and cast off on a pirate adventure.
Following hugely successful concerts in the UK and Ireland, producer Hal Willner (Came So Far for Beauty, 2005) brings another all-star line-up to Sydney.
Rogue's Gallery was conceived by actor Johnny Depp and director Gore Verbinski on the set of Pirates of the Caribbean. The result was a compilation CD featuring a veritable who's who of contemporary music performing pirate ballads, sea songs and chanteys.
In an Australian exclusive, a stellar line-up of over 20 rock and folk icons, actors, punk rockers and more take to the stage on the Forecourt of the Sydney Opera House, along with an exceptional house band, to bring the lore and fables of the pirates and sailors of the high seas to life. The songs chronicle a life at sea - from sailors, convicts, travellers and pirates - and all the hardships, horrors, lusts and romance that went along with it.
