Nevada Opera wraps up its 40th season with The Mikado (sung in English with English supertitles) on April 11 and 13, 2008. This rollicking Gilbert and Sullivan is among the funniest operettas ever. Its elegant score and hilarious plot (the Lord High Executioner must execute himself unless he can find a substitute) have made it hugely popular all over the globe. The original version made fun of Victorian England and its craze for anything Japanese. Nevada Opera will offer all its beloved music and impeccable text amid present-day references to Reno, politicians (don't forget - it will be an election year)! You will love it!

If you're not an opera fan ... then Gilbert & Sullivan may be just the ticket for you. Known for their incredibly catchy toons and fantastical lyrics - G & S pull out all the stops for a wonderful show.
You know this one: Three little maids from school!
Insider tip: Go an hour early so you can catch Artistic Director Michael Borowitz's preview (downstairs). You will love it!
