Re: The Mikado


I'm sightly embarrassed to say I'd never heard of G & S until my late teens ... we weren't a musical family. But at a sleepover at a friends house they were playing Pinafore on the phonograph (remember those?) and I was smitten!

I rather like some aspects of Victoriana .... have found some lovely birthday cards which you will be seeing in due course!

Re: The Mikado


We love G&S and have seen most of them on stage and The Mikado is a favourite. We saw the English National Opera do the Jonathan Miller production, great fun, staged as a 1930's set, complete with loads of tap-dancing!

Re: The Mikado


I love G&S and have sung in many of their operettas. I sang the lead soprano part - Yum Yum and my OH was the lead tenor, Nanky Poo! I think the Mikado is my favourite. I am sure you will enjoy it.

I think it was ENO production of the Mikado that we have seen!
