The Mikado is a comic opera in two acts, with music by Arthur Sullivan and libretto by W. S. Gilbert, their ninth of fourteen operatic collaborations. A year before the action of this opera begins, Nanki-Poo, son of the Mikado of Japan, fled his father’s imperial court to escape marriage with Katisha, an elderly lady. Disguised as a traveling musician, he met and fell in love with Yum-Yum, the young ward of Ko-Ko, a cheap tailor in the town of Titipu. Yum-Yum, however, was already betrothed to her guardian, and Nanki-Poo left Titipu in despair.

This classic Gilbert and Sullivan is brought to life by a talented cast of 25 featuring Devin Ashton, Nikki Kent, Tom Coup and Dee Gibson. Directed by Michael Sanders and choreographed by Anna Mortlock with Musical Direction by Riette Ferriera and vocal coaching by Harold Laughton.
