ENO’s joyous interpretation of The Mikado is revived in its 20th anniversary year, complete with high-kicking chorus lines, satirical touches and a wonderfully elegant score. Jonathan Miller’s evergreen production of Gilbert & Sullivan’s operetta – a comic masterpiece from the English canon – brims with ‘theatrical delights’ (The Guardian).
Felicity Palmer and Richard Suart return to play Katisha and Ko-Ko respectively, and Simon Lee conducts at ENO, following his debut in the smash-hit On the Town. ‘As scintillating entertainment, this Mikado is the operatic equivalent of Anything Goes’ (The Sunday Telegraph).
