The Mikado Act II

[@marypagones6073]

This is the only Mikado I've ever seen in which I think Ko-Ko and Katisha actually could be a very happy couple in the end. This whole production is just so delightfully Canadian and wholesome.

A fabulous production. As a former Poo-Bah and member of the D'Oyly-Carte opera trust I would like to offer everyone involved my congratulations!

Can you believe that the Mikado(Gidon Saks)who is so good,was only 22 when sang this?! It was at the urging of his singing teacher that he auditioned for the part.

By far the best Mikado to be found on KZbin. There simply is no other Pooh Bah that can touch the incredible Richard McMillan. He was incomparable. While the whole production is wonderful, there is one more performance that elevates this one: the Mikado, Gidon Saks could not be bettered. An experience not to be missed.

Truly a five star production for one of musical theater's most brilliant works from Gilbert and Sullivan.Our theater to the north executes this incarnation with razor-sharp integrity, seamless work and a cast/crew deserving an ensemble award.Worth every moment to see the Canadian cast demonstrates the pure, love and respect

I've lost count as to how many times I've watched this marvelous performance!!

[@freebeerfordworkers]

As a committed G & S fan I think this version is one of the best I have seen anywhere.

[@Partnerfrance]

EXCELLENT! Not only the singing, but the direction, staging, choreography and costumes!

I was lucky enough to have front row seats for this in Stratford, Canada. Went to all the G and S operettas they did as well as Gypsy, West Side Story, My Fair Lady, Fiddler on the Roof. All of these are very effective in introducing children and young people to the wealth of music out there.

I love that the Mikado is a completely psychopath

[@chazbrennan9632]

The richness and elegance of the costumes forms a balletic counterpoint to the ironic humor and fun, and the slapstick comedy. Instead of trying to de-Japan it, they put respect into the magnificent designs and so the story celebrates a captivating fairytale culture as it satirises British penal and social mores.

I have seen several productions of the Mikado including the original D'Oyly Carte in UK. This is the best one I have seen.

the very best mikado I have ever seen

[@juliadagnall5816]

This has my favorite version of ‘Sing a Merry Madrigal’. The harmony is lovely and they way they work pouring tea into the song is so funny and sweet

[@celticceltic99]

The energy level of the cast is amazing. Great show, thanks for posting!

[@drbob528]

As a lifetime G&S tragic, this is the finest production of The Mikado I've ever seen (and there have been many of them). Congratulations to all concerned. ... OK, after seeing Act II, I've had to edit this ... the performance isn't just fine ... it was fabulous.
