Greensboro Opera is delighted to partner with the Glenn McNairy Library to present “Winter Pirate Night,” a lively and interactive community event that invites families to set sail on an evening of music, imagination, and swashbuckling fun linking arts to literacy in our community.

This free event, designed for neighbors of all ages, from the littlest landlubbers to the young at heart, will bring stories and characters to life through engaging performances, hands-on activities, pirate ship selfies, and high-energy musical moments inspired by Greensboro Opera’s upcoming production of The Pirates of Penzance, March 5 & 7, 2026.

Throughout the evening, attendees will enjoy interactive themed activities, special library selections for storytelling adventures, pirate-approved refreshments, and opportunities to meet Greensboro Opera artists “pirates” and McNairy Library staff who will help guide families through an unforgettable nautical journey. Pirate costumes are welcome!

 

Greensboro Opera is committed to making the magic of opera accessible, joyful, and community-centered. Partnering with Glenn McNairy Public Library allows us to bring the arts directly to families in a warm, welcoming environment where curiosity and creativity can flourish. “Winter Pirate Night” is part of Greensboro Opera’s ongoing initiative to build meaningful connections throughout the Triad and to inspire young audiences to engage in the magic of opera through interactive arts programming.
