Director Bill Fabris Stages Indy Opera's "Pirates"

The Indianapolis Opera have selected veteran stage director Bill Fabris for their March 13 and 15, 2009 production of Gilbert and Sullivan's "Pirates of Penzance".  Fabris has solid background in opera, musicals and operetta with nearly a half dozen G&S favorites in his credits. Fabris describes his production to WFIU's George Walker as solidly grounded in the D'Oyle Carte tradition with borrowings and homages to a variety of other musical theatre greats.
