Cambridge’s Paul Soper appears as Samuel in the South Shore Conservatory’s Evenings Under the Stars performance of Gilbert and Sullivan’s “The Pirates of Penzance.”

This is semi-staged production touted by the conservatory as having “high-quality singers, first-rate chorus and gorgeous summer setting.” As Samuel, the bookish lieutenant to the Pirate King who leads the first song of Act I, Soper is among those high-quality singers: He made his baritone operatic debut with Houston Grand Opera and has sung principal and comprimario roles with Boston Lyric Opera, Brooklyn Academy of Music, Glimmerglass Opera, Opera Naples in Florida and with the National Touring Co. of New York City Opera. He’s been Don Giovanni with MetroWest Opera, Noah in “Noye’s Fludde” with the Falmouth Chorale, Dr. Malatesta in “Don Pasquale” with Cape Cod Opera, Baron Zeta in “The Merry Widow” and Don Alfonso in “Cosi fan tutte” with Opera Providence, Ariodate in “Xerxes” at the Connecticut Early Music Festival, Guglielmo in “Cosi fan tutte” and Raimondo in “Lucia di Lammermoor” with Commonwealth Opera.

The performance is 7 p.m. July 27 at the Jane Carr Amphitheater at One Conservatory Drive, Hingham. Tickets bought in advance are $35 for pavilion and $20 for lawn seating for Saturday evening concerts. Lawn tickets bought at the door are $25. There is no charge for children under 3.
