Now here's a how-de-do
LUU Opera Soc is performing The Mikado in the Riley Smith Hall from 2 to 5 May 2012. Tickets can be reserved now.
Gilbert & Sullivan's The Mikado is a comedy set in Japan, revolving around the forbidden love of Nanki-Pooh, the disguised heir to the Japanese throne, and the beautiful Yum-Yum. They are thwarted by Ko-Ko, Yum-Yum's amorous guardian, and the aged Katisha who is determined to marry Nanki-Pooh herself. After many complications and confusions the story ends in traditional Gilbert and Sullivan style, with multiple marriages; some happier than others.
