As one of Gilbert & Sullivan’s most popular comic operettas, The Mikado delivers a satiric look at love triangles and political hypocrisy in the fairy-tale setting of ancient Japan. Britain’s oldest touring opera company, Carl Rosa Opera Company is committed to delivering the highest quality productions of traditional grand opera combined with the new styles and innovations. The company used Gilbert’s authenticated prompt book as its source for direction, staging and choreography, and the original antique costumes, now restored to their full glory and recently seen on the screen in Mike Leigh’s Oscar-winning film, Topsy-Turvy. This production is guaranteed to delight your eyes and ears – all while tickling your funny bone.
