About

Presented by Gilbert and Sullivan Opera Victoria, The Mikado. An evening of song, wit and live music with a full orchestra, and chorus awaits. Informative, low-cost program and unique DVD recordings and GSOV merch available for purchase. The Mikado is an enduringly popular comic opera with memorable music, endearing characters and some of the wittiest lyrical comedy in the English language. Featuring much loved songs such as "I've Got A Little List" (the better known title of "As Someday it May Happen"), "A Wand'ring Minstrel I", "Three Little Maids From School Are We", "The Flowers That Bloom in the Spring" and many more. Nanki-Poo loves Yum-Yum but she's betrothed to Ko-Ko, the new Lord High Executioner. When the Mikado (or emperor) orders a beheading, Nanki-Poo and Ko-Ko try to come to an arrangement that doesn't involve anyone losing their head! However, the arrival in town of the spurned Katisha turns everything topsy-turvy. With melodious mischief and preposterous plots, the tangled web unravels; will the punishment fit the crime? Entry Cost All tickets $40 - There is one ticket price only. Companion cards are accepted. Tickets are available online and at the door from 6.30pm. Seating is unreserved.
