The Mikado is the comedy classic in which W. S. Gilbert’s ‘topsy-turvy words meet with a supreme musical response from Sir Arthur Sullivan. This is the most widely-loved and, by general agreement, hilarious of the Savoy Operas, set in a wonderfully make-believe Japan. Filmed at Sydney Opera House, in 1987.

‘Wit, ingenuity, and a veritable riot of colourful and restless spectacle continue to make The Australian Opera production of The Mikado an experience designed to seduce the eye, charm the ear, and tickle the rib...’ The Sydney Morning Herald
