The Mikado is the comedy classic in which W. S. Gilbert's 'topsy-turvy' words meet with a supreme musical response from Sir Arthur Sullivan. This is the most widely-loved and, by general agreement, hilarious of the Savoy Operas, set in a wonderfully make-believe Japan. Filmed at Sydney Opera House in 1987.
