Photo Coverage: First Look at English National Opera's THE MIKADO
By: Roy Tan Nov. 20, 2015
The English National Opera presents Gilbert & Sullivan's THE MIKADO, running 21 November 2015 - 5 February 2016. BroadwayWorld has an exclusive first look at the cast in action below!
Nanki-Poo loves Yum-Yum. Just one snag. She's betrothed to Ko-Ko, the new Lord High Executioner. And Ko-Ko needs to find someone to execute -- chop chop! Otherwise, it's his own neck on the block. Maybe Ko-Ko and Nanki-Poo can come to some arrangement... without anyone losing their head? Set in an ever-so English 1930s seaside hotel, Jonathan Miller's Marx Brothers-inspired song-and-dance Mikado is a popular hit with audiences of all ages. The combination of Gilbert's virtuosic wit, Sullivan's memorable melodies and Miller's hilarious antics is irresistible.
Distinguished bass Robert Lloyd sings the genial Mikado for the first time, 46 years after making his ENO debut, while Richard Suart, the acknowledged master of the Lord High Executioner's pathological 'little list', returns as Ko-Ko. ENO Harewood Artists Mary Bevan and Anthony Gregory play the lovers Yum-Yum and Nanki-Poo, while ENO Mackerras Conducting Fellow Fergus Macleod makes his company debut.
