★★★★★ "Five-star heaven” - What's On Stage
The “masters of G&S in small spaces”, Charles Court Opera, present their stylish, highly successful 5 star London production of the most loved of Gilbert and Sullivan’s comic masterpieces, The Mikado.
Behind closed doors at a British Consulate, the scheming Lord High Executioner is about to hatch one plot too far, with far-reaching and hilarious consequences for everyone involved.
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.
The production is directed by John Savournin, whose recent and current productions include Trial by Jury for Opera North, The Pirates of Penzance and HMS Pinafore, both in collaboration with Opera Holland Park.
