Shiver me timbers!
When the fatal "Attack!" sounds, it's often too late: the pirates have disembarked and there’s going to be trouble on deck! Composers have ingeniously immortalised this fateful moment, whether in the Caribbean (Hans Zimmer), off the shores of Jamaica (in Korngold's Captain Blood) or in the Ionian Sea (Berlioz's Le corsaire). Your captain, Pierre Solot, will try to extricate you from the hands of these renegades in search of glittering treasures, thirsty for blood as much as for rum and adventure. Let’s all be brave, run away!
