The Mikado

Book by W.S. Gilbert
Music by Arthur Sullivan
Directed by Graham Thatcher

May 31 – June 11, 1978

A year before the action of this opera begins, Nanki-Poo, son of the Mikado of Japan, fled his father’s imperial court to escape marriage with Katisha, an elderly lady. Disguised as a traveling musician, he met and fell in love with Yum-Yum, the young ward of Ko-Ko, a cheap tailor in the town of Titipu.
