The ‘Masters of Gilbert and Sullivan in small spaces’ Charles Court Opera return to the King’s Head Theatre with a smart, stylish new take on possibly the most loved of their comic masterpieces, The Mikado, giving it a classy CCO twist.
Overview
Behind the closed doors at the British Consulate in the town of Tipitu, Japan, the scheming, slippery Lord High Executioner is about to hatch one plot too far, with far-reaching and hilarious consequences for everyone involved, especially when the Mikado himself arrives...
Containing familiar songs including "A wandering minstrel, I", "I've got a little list" and "Three little maids from school", this punchy and hilarious satire promises to be a treat for operetta lovers and newcomers alike.
Critic reviews
If you’ve not seen an opera before, and don’t fancy heading to the opera house to pay a day’s wages for a ticket to be inevitably seated between a bilingual seven-year old and an old fellow who’s seen La Traviata 13 times, then I reckon this is a good place to start
Wonderful performances from his cast
Gilbert and Sullivan’s opera is reinvented with sparkling wit and energy for a 21st-century audience.
It's a blast
