　“庞森斯的海盗”一剧首演于一八七九年十二月三十一日，是吉伯特与沙利文这对搭档唯一一部在纽约首演的喜歌剧。此剧和“日本天皇”、“女皇陛下围兜号”同为两人最受欢迎的剧作，至今依然经常演出。此剧的剧名有两层的讽刺意味，一是庞森斯是当时广为人知的优美海滩，素来就不以海盗出没闻名；另一寓意则指那些私自演出女皇陛下围兜号的歌剧团。此剧的故事以维多利亚女皇时代为背景，讲述主角菲德利克因为小时女仆重听，误将主人指示要将菲德列克培养成“舵手”听成“海盗”，而把他送进海盗堆中。菲德列克生平只见过女仆一名女子，以为这就是最美的女子，在返家前夕，他叮嘱海盗，日后他的工作就是要打击海盗，并指出海盗因为自己是孤儿，所以打劫对象一遇同为孤儿就心软，是他们最大弱点。从这里全剧发展出许多阴错阳差的场面。近年来迪士尼畅销的电影“神鬼奇航”就是依据这部喜歌剧以海盗的诸多笑点所改编而成。这份一九六一年的录音，采用的是这一年葛兰德伯恩音乐节的卡司，所以参与演出的，都是一群在歌剧界（尤其是莫札特）享有盛名的歌剧歌唱家，像是男高音理查路易斯、女高音海瑟哈普和女低音莫妮卡辛克莱，这些大名，在同一时期的葛兰德伯恩音乐节所录制的莫札特歌剧中，也都出现过。
