The Mikado

9-23 November 2019

Gilbert & Sullivan’s most famous opera The Mikado bounces along as a riot of colour, comedy and cutting commentary.

It’s a Hello Kitty, pink polka-dotted, smart-phone-selfie world called Titipu and its residents are a mad bunch of bureaucrats, young schoolgirls and a captivating cougar named Katisha.

It is quite simply beautifully executed comedy.

The Mikado is running from 9 ’til 23 November at Festival Theatre. For more information, see the State Opera website.
