John Reed is my favorite version of Ko-Ko. Hands down. I love this opera, and John Reed’s performance solidified my choice a long time ago.

Absolutely. John Reed - in any G & S - brilliant.

I AGREE!!! because the way how he sings reminds me of Zazu!

The way Ko-ko is slightly pigeon-toed is too precious

? I've seen this Mikado in its entirety and I believe it's one of the most beautifully done Productions I've ever seen and I've seen a lot in my 84 years and I believe it comes from maybe Canada I can't remember right now just wonderful though you can find it on the web costumes magnificent. I really enjoyable watch

Gilbert and Sullivan grossly underrated composers. Music and lyrics great. Mp

Calling them "underrated" is inaccurate and ridiculous.

They are almost certainly among the most famous composers in history, "underrated" they are not. I do not think you fully know what that ord means.

The only thing I didn't really like about this scene was that all the nobles looked pretty much the same. If I were to stage this, 2 would be shinto senior priests, 2 would be armored samurai, 2 would be dutch diplomats-in-residence, and the remaining 3 would be the conventional nobles we see here.
@lukevankleef42453 жыл бұрын
Agreed. In the 1987 version, even though all the nobles wore black, they did all have very different appearances.
