Indianapolis Opera: the Mikado October 17, 2010

As exciting as it is charming, as sparklingly funny as it is musically radiant. Transport yourself to a wonderfully absurd universe created by Gilbert and Sullivan, the undisputed masters of comic opera. Unexpected rivals, hilarious circumstances and false heroics thwart the lovers. Yet, love prevails. The vibrant characters of 'The Mikado,' including Ko-Ko, Yum-Yum, Nanki-Poo and Katisha conspire against the establishment with their high-speed antics. Director Bill Fabris returns to stage this Gilbert and Sullivan classic after his wildly popular production of last season's The Pirates of Penzance. Featuring the Indianapolis Chamber Orchestra conducted by James Caraher.
