The Mikado

Don’t miss NYGASP's critically acclaimed production of The Mikado. The Mikado features all of your favorite G&S characters: romantic Yum-Yum and Nanki-Poo, Ko-Ko, the inept and comical Lord High Executioner, as well as the fearsome Katisha, the hilariously ridiculous Pooh-Bah (Lord High Everything Else), and the politely sadistic Mikado himself. A brief new prologue set in the offices of the D’Oyly Carte Opera Company frames the classic work for today’s audiences. While this production underlines how The Mikado can be enjoyed by artists and audiences of all backgrounds, Gilbert’s lyrics and Sullivan’s melodies - which have delighted comic opera lovers for over one hundred thirty-five years - are still as fresh as “the flowers in spring.”
