Other Options

  • Narrative Adaptation of Libretto
    Available
    Show details
    The Pirates of Penzance Audiobook: An audiobook exists which is based on the libretto from W. S. Gilbert and adapted to make the tale a narrative rather than an operetta. This version is listed on Audible and Barnes & Noble, co-authored/narrated by B.J. Harrison. Since the original work is an opera with libretto by Gilbert, a straight, unabridged audiobook reading of *just* Gilbert's text is not confirmed, and this adaptation does not qualify as a standard official audiobook of the text itself.
  • Public Domain Dramatic Reading
    Available
    Show details
    The Pirates of Penzance: A version of the comic opera's content is available for free from LibriVox, which consists of public domain recordings, typically a full-cast dramatic reading of the libretto, often including music, rather than a traditional narrator-led audiobook.

Summary

A standard, official, unabridged audiobook of W. S. Gilbert's text for 'The Pirates of Penzance' is not definitively confirmed across the required major retail platforms (Audible, Google Play Books, Apple Books, Kobo, OverDrive, Hoopla, Libby). However, an audiobook titled 'The Pirates of Penzance Audiobook' by W.S. Gilbert & B.J. Harrison is available on Audible and Barnes & Noble. This version is explicitly described as being 'based on the libretto from W. S. Gilbert... adapted to make the tale a narrative, rather than an operetta,' meaning it is an adaptation rather than a direct, unabridged reading of the original libretto text. Furthermore, a public domain, likely full-cast dramatic reading including music, is available via LibriVox, which does not meet the criteria for an official, general-public audiobook.
