Product description

Dive into the whimsical world of Gilbert & Sullivan with their iconic comic opera, "The Mikado," captured live from the Arts Centre, Melbourne, in May 2011. This enchanting performance, released by Sound and Vision, offers a delightful journey through the absurd and humorous tale set in the fictional Japanese town of Titipu. With a runtime of 1 hour and 23 minutes, this album is a treasure trove of wit, satire, and unforgettable melodies.

The album features a stellar cast, including Richard Alexander as The Mikado, Kanen Breen as Nanki-Poo, Mitchell Butel as Ko-Ko, and Warwick Fyfe as Pooh-Bah, among others. The performance is a testament to the enduring appeal of Gilbert & Sullivan's work, blending clever dialogue with memorable tunes that have captivated audiences for generations. From the playful "Three Little Maids from School Are We" to the poignant "Alone and Yet Alive," each track showcases the duo's unique ability to blend humor and heart.

"The Mikado" is not just a collection of songs but a complete theatrical experience, recorded live to capture the energy and excitement of a live performance. The album's 30 tracks take you through the intricate plot, filled with misunderstandings, love triangles, and the ever-present threat of beheading. Whether you're a longtime fan of Gilbert & Sullivan or a newcomer to their work, this live recording offers a fresh and engaging way to experience one of their most beloved operas.
